About this event

  • 5 hours

Come and get involved at Denham!

Join our Rangers out on site in Denham Country Park to help us deliver practical tasks out on site.

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 area within the park, and we will explain how the task contributes to our management of these areas.

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, situated off the main visitor car park by the play area in Denham Country Park.
