40 junior rangers will gather from protected landscapes across Europe on the Mendip Hills in July 2010. The EUROPARC Junior Ranger Network: In partnership to protect Europe’s natural and cultural heritage. The host organisation’s aim is to make the camp and all activities free of charge, excluding travel. All junior rangers, no matter what the economic background, should be able to take part in this important event.
Sixty Junior Ranger programmes are now run across 9 countries, giving hundreds of young people the opportunity to engage with Europe’s finest protected areas. Helping the promotion and development of the programmes is an ongoing initiative by the EUROPARC Federation.
