The sustainable transport charity which owns the Spen Valley Greenway is seeking to recruit more black and Asian volunteer rangers to help look after the National Cycle Network (NCN) and develop links with the community.
With the NCN covering 6,500 miles and due to grow to 10,000 miles by 2005, Sustrans is aiming to recruit more rangers from the communities through which it passes.
Sustrans currently manages 1,300 community rangers who each take responsibility for their own section of the NCN and help with minor maintenance. Rangers also encourage others in their community to use the cycle paths.
Volunteers give up an average one hour per week and often work in groups. Sustrans provides full training and essential equipment.
Anyone interested can call Katherine Sydney, National Community Ranger Programme Assistant, on (0117) 915 0110 or e-mail rangers-uk@sustrans.org.uk.
