Dear European rangers,
After a turbulent congress month, we now have weeks of getting back to normal and reorganising behind us. As the new ERF board, we have discussed our plans for future work and the conclusions we can draw from the 6th European Ranger Congress.
Valuable input came from you, the participants, via our ERC feedback form – it is still open, so take the opportunity to tell us what went well, what didn't, which topics were particularly relevant to you and which ones we should address in the future! Just click on the photo below.
I have also taken some time to reflect my goals and visions for the ERF as its new president and discussed them with our team. In particular, we need to strengthen our direct connection to you, the rangers on the ground, by interacting more closely with our members, the national ranger associations. More on this in my interview!
Our ‘Two Rangers, Two Projects’ format shows once again how different the conditions and habitats to be protected can be for our members. This time, we feature an urban ranger from Germany’s capital and a wildlife ranger from the island nation of Cyprus, who, despite all differences, work each day to moderate nature protection and human use.
