Ranger Interpretation Service and Events
The role of the Ranger is mainly to educate, inform and entertain, providing hundreds of public events through the year and working with educational groups. Our role also covers developing and maintaining links with local communities and also working on conservation projects involving trees and woodlands, lakes, wildlife, horticulture, natural and local history. We are the first point of contact with the Parks and Environment Division for most users of our Parks and so have a role in being 'ambassadors' for our greenspaces, helping communities to value, respect and appreciate our green heritage.
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 service offers a wide range of educational, interpretational, instructive walks, talks and organised community events and events for all ages, the majority of which are free of charge. Details of the hundreds of events run by the Rangers are available below.
Promoting the city's green spaces together with the study of seasonal changes in plants and trees all contribute toward a deeper, and longer lasting appreciation of the environment in which we live and our children will inherit.
