• Volunteer Role Title

  Volunteer Towpath Ranger - Huddersfield Narrow Canal

• About the Volunteer Role

  Volunteer Towpath Rangers are the eyes and ears of the local waterway, a friendly face who is happy engaging with all users of our towpaths. As a ranger you will help make sure the towpaths are an enjoyable place for everyone; reporting any issues you see, towpath gardening and light maintenance as well as talking to the towpath users about the Trust's work. It's a chance to have a positive impact on your local waterway and help people appreciate it. Alongside this we are also looking for Volunteers who would like to be trained on how to operate the locks, learn about water control and offer help to single-handed boating customers navigating the canal. This opportunity is flexible and would suit someone who has a few hours to spare each week with a friendly manner and can-do attitude. This is a great way to meet new people, get fit and see great wildlife! The Trust will provide clothing and equipment and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. Our Volunteer Towpath Rangers receive an induction and on-going training as needed.
