Our East Devon team looks after a group of National Trust properties between Axminster and Exmouth.
As a volunteer ranger you could be working as part of a welcome team working in the Branscombe Valley , or spending the day improving coastal access on the coast path – a job that comes with stunning views.
Other jobs you might be helping with:
Woodland management – coppicing and hedgelaying
Helping the ranger team with general practical work
Cutting vegetation, repairing steps, gates and bridges along the coast path
Maintenance of tools and equipment
The East Devon volunteers look after a number of different areas, including coastal areas and countryside around Branscombe, Sidmouth Countryside, Exmouth Countryside, Loughwood Meeting House, Manor Mill and Shute Barton.
This means there are a number of different opportunities, including being a countryside ranger, part of a visitor welcome team or a guide around one of our properties.
