Dartmoor Junior Youth Rangers volunteer
The Dartmoor Junior Youth Ranger programme’s purpose is to provide an opportunity for young people to understand, appreciate, and enjoy Dartmoor through an accessible programme of activities where they can develop environmental skills and knowledge leading to positive behaviour changes.
Your role as a Dartmoor Junior Youth Rangers volunteer is to facilitate young people to engage safely and fully in the Dartmoor Junior Youth Rangers programme.
National Parks UK Look Wild
This summer, the UK National Parks are challenging everyone to become scientists and learn more about the wildlife on their doorstep. Wherever you live, we are all surrounded by nature, and we want to know all about you can see in your local green space, and, when it is safe to do so, what you can spot in the Dartmoor National Park.
#2 min litter pick
For the last several years we have been working in partnership with the #2 minute beach cleans and we run several volunteer #2 min litter pick across Dartmoor throughout the year.
Litter is a nightmare for the environment, for the wild animals and stock that call Dartmoor their home. So if you would like to come and get involved and even if its only for #2 minutes we love you to see you! Bags and litter pickers provided, but please bring gloves! For further information you can email volunteering@dartmoor.gov.uk.
