As a National Forest Way Ranger you will help to maintain our 75-mile trail and ensure each section of the route is kept in good condition, therefore we work with volunteer Rangers and County Council Rights of Way teams to help inspect, maintain and signpost the trail. Becoming a National Forest Ranger means that you become the ‘eyes on the ground’ for the Rights of Way teams, as well as contributing to the health and improvement of our Forest.
We split the route into sections and assign one or more rangers to each. Each month you must walk your section, noting down any issues, such as obstructions, broken stiles, overgrown paths, missing waymarkers. Then you report back to us. We’ll then send this information to the Rights of Way teams for action.
