Katherine works for Bristol City Council who recently declared a Climate and Ecological Emergency and have committed to taking strong action to help reduce carbon emissions and manage the city and countryside in a more nature-friendly way. But how?

That’s where Katherine comes in – she runs workshops and creates courses that help people understand what they can do in their jobs and everyday lives to be more sustainable.

Surprising bit? “Yesterday I attended a meeting at the Bristol Zoo Project that was a networking event with other environmental educators…We talked about environmental learning whilst looking out at wolves in the woods!” 

Earning: £26,000 – £36,000

Workplace: When not running interactive workshops surrounded by people and lots of props to aid discussion, Katherine is often found in meetings with colleagues working on climate action policy and strategy. She also works with other learning specialists and workshop designers to create the best online and in-person courses.

Best bit? “I love learning about ecology and then sharing my knowledge about it in order to help people make good choices for wildlife, such as leaving long grass for insects, birds, amphibians and mammals to eat, live in, hibernate etc.”
