Green Hotel Jobs: What It's Like Overseeing A 4,000-Acre Reserve In Australia

He reached out across the globe to talk to the dynamic folks who do everything from breeding fish to teaching indigenous survival courses, and everything in between.
Wolgan Valley Resort and Spa in Australia’s picturesque Blue Mountains is the world’s first certified carbon neutral luxury resort, so naturally when we were thinking of the coolest Green Hotel Jobs out there, we thought we’d say g’day to the resort’s Senior Field Guide, Ben Boothby, whose job it is to basically oversee every living thing on the 4,000-acre reserve.

Emirates Plants Trees at Wolgan Valley Resort
The Wolgan Valley Resort & Spa, the resort that Emirates is building in the middle of three national parks west of Sydney, isn't due to open until 2009, but that hasn't stopped the publicity machine pumping out praise for the green efforts of Emirates.
One of the features of the resort will be a conservation area that is only accessible to resort guests, plus the Emirates group have a range of plans to do some carbon offsetting.
