Volunteer Rangers from EPIKS (Environmental Projects in Kirklees) joined the Ranger at Castle Hill to find out more about the history of the monument and to also get involved in clearing up any litter; to which each bag collected they are committed to separate anything that can be recycled or reused and taken to the appropriate recycling points.

Their projects give people the chance to enjoy better access and understanding of how and why to take action to help the environment whilst enjoying green spaces on their doorstep. To find out more about their projects in Kirklees then follow their link: https://epiks.org.uk/epiks-news-events/

We would like to thank all the Volunteer Rangers who were joined by their ever-enthusiastic co-ordinator, Gilly, for all the hard work they undertook for visitors to enjoy a more litter free attraction and also to help reduce the fire risk on Castle Hill being that it still is tinder dry after many weeks of warm weather.

🌿 Our Volunteer Environmental Rangers were out at Castle Hill today, joining Ranger Julian Brown to learn more about the history of this iconic Kirklees landmark and to lend a hand with some important litter picking.

🔥 With the ground still tinder dry after weeks of warm weather, keeping the area clear of litter is also an important part of helping to reduce fire risk and keeping this much-loved green space safe for visitors.

A huge thank you to Julian for sharing his knowledge, and to all our brilliant Volunteers and Gilly, for all their hard work! 💚

Our Volunteer Ranger sessions are a great way to get outdoors, learn more about Kirklees’ green spaces and take practical action for the environment.
