Volunteer Rangers in the Royal Parks

London’s eight Royal Parks offer 5,000 acres of historic, nature-rich parkland across the capital, and attract millions of people every single year. Visitors may also spot some friendly figures in orange – our Volunteer Rangers! 

First launched in 2019, the Volunteer Ranger service has now expanded to Richmond Park, Bushy Park, Greenwich Park and The Regent’s Park. Our Volunteer Rangers roam around the parks, working in pairs to welcome visitors and help them get the most out of their experience by sharing facts about the history and nature of the parks, tips on the best walking or cycling routes, and information about what the public can see and do in these unique green spaces.

Volunteer Rangers – recruitment currently closed

The Volunteer Ranger service currently operates in Bushy Park, Greenwich Park, Richmond Park, and The Regent’s Park, with more than 300 Volunteer Rangers engaging with over 6,500 visitors every month!

All our Volunteer Ranger services are currently at capacity, however, we are happy to hold applications on file for those interested in applying in the future when recruitment opens up. 

Please email  volunteering@royalparks.org.uk stating which park you’re interested in being a Volunteer Ranger in, and one of the team will be able to provide a role description and an application form for you to complete. We look forward to hearing from you!
