Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
Every day, starting just after 9am, we’d have talks from a variety of different professionals working in and around conservation. We also did group work discussing some of the ideas put forward in the talks.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
I found it fascinating, and it made me more excited about my future than I was previously.
