Emily does occassional seasonal work with Surf Life Saving, doing wildlife surveillance at beaches around Forster NSW. She also does some contract work for drone related businesses in both customer support and post drone sale instructions.
"My business on the other hand, is pushing towards using drones and green energy to support conservation efforts, good farming practices and bush regeneration. It sounds wide-spread now but all three of those things often overlap. My services would be part of studying the land to see what sorts of flora and fauna they have, assisting them in ensuring healthy and appropriate bush management on their properties with the instruction and collaboration with bush regeneration specialists. I would also be tying in and recording as much data as possible for conservation purposes with the appropriate stakeholders. Further to this, to fill in any gaps I will be learning drone herding in the near future from SkyKelpie.com using their Aerial Stockmanship Course and SkySim". "I intend to also be able to assist farms in difficult times with assessment of assets like dams, fences, livestock, windmills etc. Having just been through some crazy floods I realised how much I could assist in times of need with the rural community". |
