Junior Rangers
Are you interested in becoming a Junior Ranger?
We'd love to have you on board!
If you are between 11 and 18 years old and want to get hands-on experience managing landscapes, get in touch. This could include practical hands-on conservation tasks, campaigning and engaging the public to inspire them to care for nature. Examples of activities that our rangers have taken part in include:
Reed bed management
Tree planting
Wildlife surveys
First Aid training
Creating campaigns
Dry stone walling
Running event stalls
Making bird boxes
Pond management
If you are looking to work in conservation in the future or you just have an interest in the outdoors - we'd love to hear from you.
Sessions run once a month and are led by our expert team and volunteers.
Once you sign up to become a ranger, you will be expected to attend most of the monthly sessions, as this is a long-term commitment.
We currently have groups running at the following locations:
Allestree Park, Derby
Carsington Water, Ashbourne
The Avenue, Chesterfield
Woodside, Shipley
