Description
This unit of competency describes the specialist skills and knowledge required to implement terrestrial or aquatic ecosystem reconstruction works on an ecological restoration site following a plan or brief. The unit applies to individuals engaged in conservation and land and water management programs and who work under general supervision, exercising limited autonomy with some accountability for their own work. They undertake defined activities and work in a structured context to current industry standards. No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
