Cranborne Chase National Landscape

Volunteer Route Checker 

Are you a keen walker who enjoys exploring the area’s landscapes, history or wildlife?  Are you good at reading and interpreting maps and have an eye for detail?  We are keen to work with local people to check a variety of guided walks that can be enjoyed as part of the annual ChalkEscape Walking Festival and at other times, helping to get people out into the landscape and connect with its culture, heritage and ecology.

Volunteers will work independently to check existing and newly developed walking routes to ensure they are fit for purpose, accurate and appealing and will provide users with an enjoyable, safe walking experience. 

Volunteers will: 

• Walk and check agreed routes; 
• Complete route checklist;
• Compile simple to follow directions, or
• Update existing information as necessary and provide feedback; 
• Take and send photographs to illustrate issues; 
• Offer suggestions for improvements to the route; 
• Provide feedback to LPS Team. 

This is a volunteering task you can carry out any time you are available to do so, with one afternoon of training at the beginning to get you going. We'll provide you with a variety of routes to check in your own time, and provide you with the training and support you need to carry this out safely.
