A Day in The Life
This month (March)
the suggested theme for our orthography competition is A Day in The Life and the prize is membership of Countryside
Management Association
This month we're looking for examples of what your working
life is really like. Show off your best days, what is it that makes your job
the best in the world? Share the worst days and everything in between. What are the things you'd share with someone
looking to follow a similar career?
Reveal the hidden glamour of it all: soggy waterproofs and
overflowing wellies, dressed up in all your finery presenting or receiving
awards, the relief of a hot beverage whilst the lop and top crackles away on
the bonfire, the glow of pride in a job well done as you look over a new
planted meadow.
Whatever it is you'd like to show your fellow professionals
and budding enthusiasts.
It's a perfect opportunity to direct the spotlight on your
job, organisation, site or passion project. With that in mind when sending us your photos this month please make
sure to tell us exactly what 'life' it is and include the job title (you can
use a generic Ranger / Wildlife Project Officer if you don't to be too
specific).
This month's winner will be given a year's membership of the
wonderful Countryside Management Association.
