Yes, and it is a moderate move. A recreational facilities manager already covers 59% of what a botanist is expected to do: 16 skills carry over, 16 of which the botanist role treats as required.

9 required skills are missing, plus 6 optional ones. They fall into 5 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, led by natural sciences, mathematics and statistics. The single most important is advise on acquisitions.

Its learning distance is 46.1 out of 100, which is the moderate band. That accounts for both how much is missing and how specialised those skills are.
