Ranger Interpretation Service
The Ranger Interpreation Service exists to educate, inform and entertain you, providing hundreds of public events through the year and working with educational groups. Details of these are on the Events page. The majority of these are free of charge, bringing you great value days out!
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.

Education - Learning Opportunities
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 run the award winning education programme at Croxteth Country Park and our programmes have been expanded for Liverpool's Year of Environment 2009.
Why we do it
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 the environment in which we live and our children will inherit.
