The brazier was lit by Ed McGregor, Volunteer and Engagement Manager, West, and Celine Elliott, National Youth Partnership Manager, from English Heritage, to celebrate the achievements of our Young Rangers ‘Climate Action Youth Group’.
English Heritage’s national youth engagement programme, Shout Out Loud, has funded this award-winning environmental programme over the last year.
Those involved regularly meet to undertake tasks ranging from heathland regeneration and monitoring flora and fauna to helping increase biodiversity at the historic sites our charity cares for. As part of the programme, our Young Rangers have also undertaken professional training in traditional skills such as scything and Cornish hedging – accreditations they can take forward to help them achieve their career or life goals.
