A dedicated group of volunteers recently enjoyed a summer social gathering at Moors Valley Country Park and Forest to say ‘thank you’ for all their hard work.
More than 150 volunteers have worked alongside the Rangers at Moors Valley over the last four years. This dedicated team has been responsible for leading a programme of health walks and cycle rides, created especially to give local people the opportunity to take part in regular outdoor exercise in an enjoyable environment.
Healthy Lifestyle Ranger, Karl Prince, said: “This incredible band of volunteers has been invaluable in helping to make our Activate 1000 programme such a success.
“Since the programme began nearly 5,000 local people have taken that first crucial step towards a healthy lifestyle. They have been supported all the way by our fantastic volunteers and it is a real pleasure to be able to bring so many of them together to say a personal thank you for all the hard work and effort they have put in over the years.”
Anyone interested in finding out about the programme of health walks and cycle rides can call the Moors Valley Rangers on 01425 470721 or visit www.moors-valley.co.uk.
