Our Young Rangers programme offers a unique opportunity for young people aged 14 to 18 years to get involved in practical conservation volunteering. Young Rangers activities take place every month on a Sunday and are led by experienced Rangers from a several partner organisations including the National Trust, Fix the Fells, Cumbria Wildlife Trust, West Cumbria Rivers Trust and the John Muir Trust. The sessions are supported by dedicated and knowledgeable adult volunteer leaders. We take part in a range of activities, from tree planting to footpath maintenance, at sites across the Lake District National Park.
Many of our Young Rangers use their experience as part of the volunteering element of the Duke of Edinburgh Award, but you don't need to be completing the DofE award to take part.
