A bit of news on our very valued Volunteer Rangers
We have a fabulous group of volunteers based from the Country Park. Our volunteers are involved in helping to maintain the country park, contribute to conservation projects through to assisting with guided activities. Volunteers are out 7 days a week.
Recently, our countryside volunteers have been helping to deliver a grant funded Woodland Creation Project based at the park and also within other green spaces throughout Thornton, Poulton, Cleveleys and Fleetwood. Approximately 5000 young, native broadleaf trees have already been planted. Well done team! Do get in touch with us if you are interested in volunteering opportunities at the park. 01253 863100.
