Youth Rangers

A free opportunity for 14-17 years olds to take part in environmental and conservation tasks.

Youth Rangers is a free opportunity for people aged 14-17 interested in gaining hands-on skills and experience in environmental work. The programme provides outdoor learning activities and challenges that will help prepare participants, both professionally and personally, for future studies and careers within the environmental sector. 

Sessions usually take place on the third Saturday of each month. These meetings take place outdoors in green spaces all over Milton Keynes, covering a variety of interesting and engaging topics which include practical conservation work, biodiversity surveying, community tasks and assisting in our outdoor learning and ranger tasks.

This is a great opportunity for anyone wishing to meet new people, build confidence, contribute to your community, keep active and gain valuable environmental skills with a landscape charity.

Activities carried out by Youth Rangers include:

  • Building dead hedges using natural materials harvested from the parks 
  • Pond clearance 
  • Removing invasive plant species 
  • Conducting reptile, insect and grassland surveys
  • Wildflower seed collection 
  • Tree planting
