Wild Rangers was created to provide children and adults of all ages and backgrounds the opportunities to interact with and access nature in fun, inclusive, creative and inspiring ways. In parallel our mission is to promote the conservation and enhancement of the green spaces and nature conservation sites we work in for the benefit of wildlife and people’s wellbeing.

We do this in two ways: by running  outdoor adventure learning sessions for families and children of different ages; and by carrying out nature conservation and green space improvement projects.

We are committed to the protection, preservation and conservation of the neighbourhood’s green spaces, in particular the green corridor of the railway cutting often referred to as Hither Green Sidings. In 2017 residents set out a vision to create an accessible parkland and continuous nature trail from south circular to the ancient woodland of Elmstead Wood.

The parkland vision will see the creation of the Railway Children Urban National Park if the challenges can be overcome. In May 2021 CPRE launched their Ten New Parks for London campaign – with the Railway Children parkland being one of them.

Our conservation work involves campaigning and advocacy work for the protection and enhancement of our local green spaces and nature conservation sites, leading green space enhancements projects and coordinating volunteer days which help improve local green spaces.

If you would like to volunteer please subscribe to our mailing list. We will let you know when the next volunteer days are.

Sadly we are not running any nature club sessions at the moment.

We continue our conservation work for now.

Please check back in future.

We hope to see everyone again soon.
