Box Moor Rangers
Mini Rangers (5-7 years old)
The Box Moor Trust Mini Rangers is a junior group for children to learn about local wildlife and develop outdoor skills from animal track identification to fire-making. Keeping children engaged with nature at a young age is key to instilling a lifelong passion for the environment, which we hope will help improve green space for future generations.
Each session is run by experienced leaders and supported by Box Moor Trust volunteers. Mini Rangers usually meet on the first Saturday of the month, between 1.30pm – 2.30pm. Due to the varied nature of the sessions the group may meet in different places across the estate, please take note of the session location when booking on our Bookwhen page.
