Honorary Rangers
Honorary Ranger Duties and Activities:
Honorary Rangers are assimilated into their various geographic regions to enable their members to meet regularly and conduct work parties in their associated park. Each region has a number of nominated projects, but the HRs also contribute as individuals by way of 'park duties'.
These duties meet the needs of the various parks and are very diverse in nature. They can be administrative, physical or educational and can concern SANParks’ tourism, conservation or people and conservation functions. Sometimes these are spontaneous response duties to unique requests. A request goes out via the central HR database at SANParks’ head office usually via the email medium.
Examples of recent SANParks’ request duties for which the Honorary Rangers have rallied include:
• Stock-taking at Golden Gate
• Driving vehicles to and from Northern Kruger and other support for Leadership for Conservation in Africa Conference.
