Youth Rangers
What's it all about?
Are you aged 13- 18 years? Do you live in Exeter? Are you interested in gaining experience in wildlife conservation?
Exeter's Youth Rangers is an opportunity for young volunteers to meet up regularly, learn wildlife skills and join in with practical tasks helping to look after Exeter's Valley Parks.
Who can join?
Exeter's Youth Ranger Group is specifically aimed at young people aged 13 - 18. If you have been a part of the group but have since turned 18+ there will be opportunities for those interested to grow into a volunteer youth leader role to help assist with the running of the group
Don’t worry if you have never done anything like this before! You don’t need any previous experience.
Where?
The group will meet up and undertake tasks and activities in Exeter's Valley Parks, concentrating mostly on Mincinglake Valley Park and Ludwell Valley Park.
How to apply?
We are currently at full capacity, but will update this page when spaces become available!
