Introduction & About Me

Hello, my name is Jake Oseland. I’m an aspiring career conservationist who is fascinated by wildlife. I hope to grow my knowledge about the natural world and educate the public on the urgency of conservation.

I graduated with a media and film studies degree but have begun work in conservation. I hope to combine my media related skills with my passion for wildlife as a means to spread awareness.

I have recently started work as a project assistant with the environmental organisation Groundwork and specifically work on Douglas Challenge project. The River Douglas stretches 57km across and flows through areas of Lancashire and Greater Manchester. The Douglas Challenge is a project designed to restore the Douglas and improve its value as a home for wildlife.

I’ll be using this page as a journal to document my journey as a new conservationist and to record the progress made as part of the Douglas Challenge. So, if you are new to the world of conservation and want to gain an insight into the type of work that it entails look no further. Similarly, if you are interested in the River Douglas or conservation in general be sure to check in for regular updates on the project.
