Volunteer Ranger - Sustrans

Ref 44 - 1007

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 local authoriteis and we'll rely on you to deal with minor problems and report major problems so they get dealt with rapidly. This ensures routes are kept as safe and attractive 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 an 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 route managed by Sustrans return brief monitoring reports twice a year.
