Volunteering

Volunteering can prove to be valuable work experience for people, and offers the opportunity to work in local communities and with vulnerable members of society.

Volunteer Rangers form an integral part of the Lancashire Countryside Service. Work is available in a wide variety of locations from urban fringe nature reserves, country parks to patrolling upland moorland access areas, with opportunities to become involved in Information Centres, environmental education and access for all as well as some nature conservation tasks. Training is provided for volunteers in all aspects of work.
