Events page - with downloadable events programme
Our award winning education programme provides learning opportunities for all ages, with a special emphasis on Environmental and Heritage education. The majority of these are at Croxteth Country Park but we provide education in all City Parks - contact us for details.
Working with teachers on National Curriculum key stages 1, 2 & 3 we take children into the parks and woodlands, using parks as outdoor classrooms, where you will see children looking for mini-beasts, pond life, studying seasonal changes and how it affects their lives and the environment in which they live. The Ranger Interpretation Service educational programmes have been expanded for Liverpool's Year of Environment 2009.
Our role also covers developing and maintaining links with local communities, working on conservation projects involving our trees and woodlands, lakes, wildlife, horticulture, natural and local history.
We are the first point of contact with the Parks and Greenspaces for most people in our Parks and so have a role in being 'ambassadors' for our greenspaces, helping communities to value, respect and appreciate our green heritage.
Why have a Ranger Service?
Promoting the city's green spaces together with the study of seasonal changes in plants and trees all contribute toward a deeper, longer lasting appreciation of our City and the environment in which we live. Understanding and appreciating our Parks as cultural assets helps develop stronger communities.
