Who is Full membership for?

They work in ecological and environmental management roles in small, medium and large consultancies, local authorities, government agencies, statutory bodies and the world of academia. Whatever their role, what these members have in common is a high degree of knowledge, experience, skills and professionalism and a shared commitment to promoting the highest standards of practice for the benefit of nature and society.
