Eco-conscious kids who are happiest spending time outside should investigate what it takes to become a forester or conservation scientist. These environmental experts can be found in forests, parks, and other parts of the wilderness. In the proud tradition of Smokey the Bear, they might help fight and prevent the spread of wildfires. They also oversee things like forest maintenance, the sale of timber and the planting of new trees, and the creation of public spaces like campgrounds. Depending on the job, you might end up working mostly on your own, monitoring plant growth or identifying wildlife. Chattier types might enjoy giving tours to visitors or negotiating with landowners, loggers, the government, or various special interest groups. This career is an ideal fit for anyone who's been called a tree-hugger and/or wants a job that could take them to gorgeous and remote parts of the country.
