Volunteer ranger - Walsall to Burntwood
VACANCY CODE SGR012
Become a volunteer ranger and help look after a section of the National Cycle Network near your home, and so encourage more people to walk and cycle.
You will become the eyes and ears for Sustrans and our many partners. We'll rely on you to deal with minor problems yourself and report major problems so they get dealt with rapidly.
There are several key tasks for rangers, most to be carried out monthly, others less frequently. These include checking the signing on the Network, reporting missing signs and sometimes putting up temporary ones, plus checking the whole of your route in the spring. You will also keep an eye on the vegetation and cut back overhanging branches and brambles, monitor and report potholes and other hazards and help look after sculptures and mileposts.
There are a small number of volunteers already active in this area; (National Route 5 between Walsall and Chasewater and National Route 54 between Burntwood and Lichfield). We hope to support the creation of a new group of Sustrans volunteers in this area to provide a sociable and practical focus.
Much of National Route 5 hereabouts is traffic-free. This creates many opportunities for practical volunteer activities and promotional events on these key routes between Birmingham and Lichfield.
For more information contact your local Volunteer Co-ordinator, Mike Dagley on volunteers-uk@sustrans.org.uk or 0161 923 6050.
To apply please complete and return the volunteer application form.
