Leicester Riverside Rangers

Leicester Riverside has a team of Rangers who carry out a whole range of tasks from cutting the grass or litter picking through to leading volunteer conservation tasks or putting on events for the public and schools etc.

 

The Riverside team work in liaison with many other people in order to manage the river corridor through the City.

 

Every month, volunteer conservation days are organised on the Riverside by BTCV (British Trust for Conservation Volunteers).  No prior skills are needed and all abilities are welcome for helping out with a wide range on interesting tasks, from habitat management to boardwalk construction, working with friendly like minded people.

 

The Rangers also run the award winning GreenLife Boat project that enables people to join in helping to keep our river clean.  For more information on getting involved, contact Kate at Voluntary Action Leicester, telephone 0116 255 3333.

 

Many other opportunities exist for involvement by business schools, other groups and individuals.  Ask a Ranger, they can be approached at any time when you see them on site to give assistance in any information you need or issue, that you may want to raise about the Riverside.
