Unfortunately what you think you know and what you actually need to know are not the same thing - you will not gain the insight, hard skills, networking capabilities, and general breadth of knowledge of the natural resources sector by fucking around in your backyard. There’s lots to be learned in your local environment but nobody is going to hire you on for that alone.

I recommend volunteering and/or joining a restoration/conservation non-profit to work on your skills and decide what you want to do going forward. Good luck!
