Junior
Rangers have been busy at Hurst Grange Park in Penwortham
with South Ribble Senior Ranger, Paul Creighton. The
group of 7 to 11 year olds have all sorts of conservation
activities to keep them busy, from making birdboxes,
clearing woodland and doing surveys.
They're
planning on going on some great days out as well - going
to places like Martin Mere and Leighton Moss.
There's
another group of Junior Rangers at Yarrow Valley Country
Park near Chorley. The youngsters there are aged between
8 and 16 and each weekend they'll be helping the Countryside
Ranger team with day to day activities at Yarrow Valley.
Concentrate...
mind your thumb...

Councillor Cath Hoyle says " It's a chance for
young people to get really involved in the running of
the Park and we're hoping to produce some excellent
rangers for the future."
