Volunteer Ranger - Sustrans Scotland

Ref 40 - 952

As a Sustrans Ranger you will help 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 local authorities and we'll rely on you to deal with minor problems yourself and report major problems so they get dealt with rapidly. This ensures routes are kept as safe and attractice as possible for walkers, cyclists and wheelchair users.
There are several key tasks for Rangers, most to be carried out monthly, others less frequently.  These include checking the signing on the National Cycle Network, reporting missing signs and sometimes putting up temporary ones, plus a signing check of your whole route in the spring.  You will need to keep and eye on the vegetation and cut back overhanging branches and brambles, monitor and report potholes and other hazards and keep an eye on sculptures and mileposts, including minor maintenance. Rangers looking after routes managed by Sustrans return brief monitoring reports twice a year.
