Friends of Tawd Valley have started this petition to express our strong opposition to the proposed financial cuts to the WLBC Park & Countryside Ranger Service. This invaluable team plays a crucial role in preserving our natural landscapes, promoting biodiversity, and ensuring public access to our local green spaces.

Reasons for Opposition:

Conservation Efforts: The Rangers are essential for protecting wildlife habitats, managing conservation projects, and addressing environmental concerns. Cuts to their funding threaten these initiatives.

Public Safety: The Rangers ensure the safety of visitors in natural areas by providing guidance, enforcing regulations, and responding to emergencies. Reduced staffing compromises public safety.

Community Engagement: The Ranger Service fosters community involvement through educational programs, volunteer opportunities, community group support and events that connect people with nature. Cuts would limit these vital community resources.

Economic Impact: Our green spaces attract tourism, which benefits the local economies. A robust Ranger Service enhances the visitor experience and supports local businesses.

Mental Health and Wellbeing: Access to natural spaces is critical for mental and physical health. The Ranger Service promotes these areas and ensures they remain accessible to all.

Please join us and help show your support by signing our petition.

Thank you.
