Come and get involved at Black Park!
Join our Rangers out on site in Black Park to help us deliver practical tasks to support our management plan.
What are practical conservation sessions all about?
You don’t need any experience or knowledge of the parks, just enthusiasm and a willingness to get involved!
Our sessions are led by Rangers who will supply you with protective equipment and tools you need for the task and explain how to use them. Each session will deliver on a specific priority within our management plan for the park and we will explain how the task contributes to these priorities.
The sessions run from 10.00-15.00hrs and you are free to leave the session early, just let our Rangers know before you leave.
If you have not attended a session with us previously, feel free to contact us. We’ll be happy to answer any questions you may have about the session or the task!
Meeting Point
You will be met by one of the Ranger Team by the Kiosk picnic benches, situated off the main visitor car park in Black Park (adjacent to Go Ape). For reference, please see the map below - the yellow star is where to meet.

What is What 3 Words?
what3words is an app that makes it easy to find, share and save precise locations. It has divided the globe into 3m squares and given each one a unique 3 word address.
