Landscape Managers are Protectors

They look after outdoor spaces, making sure people can use and enjoy them now and in the future. Experts on plants and human behaviour, they give essential advice to architects and planners and help them create places that stay special.

“I really enjoy the freedom this job creates, having the chance to explore the country and experience some truly beautiful places. Working on-site, away from your desk, can be very rewarding – sometimes I have to stop myself and appreciate some of the locations I get to work in.”

Sam Marshall, Landscape Manager
