Volunteer Rangers
Over 2500 volunteer rangers work together in 220 local Sustrans volunteer groups and help us to manage the National Cycle Network in the UK. If you can make a regular contribution helping to look after your local route, why not join us?
As a Sustrans ranger you will help to look after and promote 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, including a monthly check of your section of route. These checks include monitoring the signing of the Network, reporting missing signs and sometimes putting up temporary ones, keeping an eye on the vegetation and cutting back overhanging branches and brambles, monitoring and reporting potholes and other hazards and helping to look after sculptures and mileposts.
You can also help build support for all the innovative and practical work we do, by organising fundraising events and publicity displays, leading bike rides and walks, and distributing leaflets and information about Sustrans and the National Cycle Network.
Whatever you do, one thing unites volunteer rangers - an interest in helping more people to discover and enjoy the National Cycle Network.
