For Teachers and Group Leaders
How to Book
Rangers can assist in planning and preparing for a visit and
have expert knowledge of the Park’s areas. They complete Risk Assessments for
all activities provided, are qualified First Aiders and always carry first aid
kits. A copy of the Risk Assessments can be sent to you if required.
The Ranger Service is available all year round free of
charge. To book an activity or discuss a programme tailored towards the needs
and interest of your group please follow these steps:
1. Contact the relevant Ranger staff and discuss the date
and subject of your visit, other visits which you would like to tie in with the
trip, and estimated group numbers (please include all adult helpers).
2. Complete and return the group booking form
that will be sent to you or download the form here:
3. Ranger staff will contact you to confirm the booking on
return of the completed form, finalise the programme and let you know who will
work with you on the day of your visit.
4. Your booking is not complete until you receive a
confirmation email from the Ranger.
Please give a minimum of four weeks notice when arranging a school/group visit to the Park.
* Teachers and group leaders must ensure that all
pupils/group members are properly prepared and bring the appropriate items when
visiting the National Park.
