Volunteer as a CityParks Ranger

Find out what CityParks Ranger volunteers do, how you can get involved and where to find other conservation volunteering groups in Brighton & Hove.

What CityPark Ranger volunteers do

CityParks Ranger volunteers carry out practical conservation projects in parks and nature reserves across Brighton & Hove. They work alongside our park rangers and gardeners.

Typical tasks include:

  • tree planting
  • coppicing
  • hedge laying
  • scrub bashing
  • gardening
  • path installation
  • fencing
  • wildflower planting

You don't need any experience to become a CityPark Ranger volunteer. We provide all the tools (and the tea and coffee).

CityParks Ranger volunteers meet every Wednesday and Friday at 10am.

Other conservation volunteer groups

There are a wide range of other conservation groups across the city. If you're interested in working in your local park or as part of a specific action group, you can visit the Brighton & Hove Green Space Forum to find a volunteering opportunity that works for you.
