Upcoming First-ever Junior Honorary Rangers
Meanwhile, the Camdeboo National Park is proud to announce the establishment of the first group of Junior Honorary Rangers-in-training.
South African National Parks” Honorary Rangers are groups of volunteers who assist national parks across the country with fund-raising, awareness creation and operational support. Junior Honorary Rangers particularly assist with awareness creation among their peers, as well as practical tasks on the ground.
The seventeen youngsters who have become the first ever Junior Honorary Ranger applicants were formerly associated with the Park via the Ekko Club.
After an orientation course, the group assisted with clearing the Eerstefontein Trail. Later, under their own initiative, the youngsters cleaned Impala Street and the surrounding area in Selbou.
The applicants should graduate as official Junior Honorary Rangers by the end of the year, taking on the task of assisting the national park wherever needed and of acting as ambassadors for the Camdeboo National Park.
