Get involved

We promote a range of different ways in which you can get involved with the Countryside Service. These are detailed below.

Voluntary Ranger Service

The Voluntary Ranger Service is a partnership between the three Local Authorities of Bury, Bolton and Salford. Within each authority the ranger team works closely alongside volunteers offering a range of practical conservation tasks, site maintenance activities and patrols.

We also offer a high quality basic training course which includes Navigation, Countryside Law, Health & Safety, Emergency First Aid and Dealing with Incidents and Emergencies.

The Voluntary Ranger Service is open to anyone aged over 18 years, who can commit to a minimum of one duty a month.

Countryside task days

The countryside rangers organise regular task days where anyone can join in to help maintain and conserve the park. These include bulb planting, hedgelaying and vegetation clearance.
