Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Land and Sea Ranger Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I’ve spent the last five years working across land and sea, helping to protect places I grew up in. In my current role I led biodiversity monitoring across 12 coastal sites and used a mix of traditional ecological knowledge and western science to guide management choices. We cut weed spread by 40 percent and rebuilt cultural burning schedules that align with both country and season. I’m looking to bring that approach to [Company Name] and contribute to preserving country you’re authorised to protect. My background combines field work with community engagement. I’ve run cultural heritage management checks, supported marine debris cleanups, and helped communities understand why these places matter. I work well with rangers, researchers, and local groups, translating complex data into practical on-country actions. I’m keen to apply te ao Māori and knowledge of local ecosystems in a way that fits your program while staying grounded in country. One example stands out from last year. We coordinated weed control along a river system and trained two community youth in monitoring techniques. Together we collected baseline data that fed into threatened species plans and informed cultural heritage assessments. After a wildfire event, I helped implement culturally informed recovery works and a revised burning schedule that significantly reduced erosion and protected cultural sites. I’m available to discuss how my experience fits [Company Name] and the Land and Sea Ranger role. I’m happy to chat at your convenience and can provide further details or references from [Previous Company]. Kind regards, [Your Name]
