From career paths and fieldwork realities to flexibility, support, and shared caregiving, we explore how becoming a parent can shape professional choices - and how the sector is (slowly) changing in response.


Our guests share their experiences of juggling unsociable hours and seasonal pressures, the compromises they’ve made along the way, and what workplace practices have made the biggest positive difference for their families.


We also look ahead, asking what still needs to change to better support parents and carers in ecology, and what advice they’d give to those considering parenthood.

We end the episode by talking about Scottish Environment LINK's A Voice for Nature campaign. This campaign marks the 10-year anniversary of Nature Champions, an initiative to encourage members of the Scottish Parliament to champion threatened and iconic species and habitats in Scotland, helping to raise awareness, and to promote action to protect and restore Scotland’s natural environment. CIEEM, jointly with Amphibian and Reptile Conservation, are the hosts for Blanket Bogs – and we are lucky enough to have Fiona Hyslop MSP as the champion for Blanket Bogs.
