The Volunteer Group meet on the second Tuesday of every month. Tools, equipment, training, refreshments and biscuits are provided. If you are interested in becoming a volunteer, contact the Park Ranger.
For more info read the volunteering opportunities leaflet.
Volunteer Rangers
Volunteer rangers either work alongside the Ranger staff or carry out independent patrols when visiting the park. Regarded as a member of staff, a volunteer ranger has to go through the same application process as any member of staff. Applicants have to apply top become a volunteer ranger, references and a DBS check are also required. An interview process follows, with successful applicants receiving full induction, training and uniform. Contact the Park Ranger.

This panel represents all users of the park and meets twice a year.
