Experience and Qualifications
You can't beat the Deadwater Valley Trust Ranger office for an eclectic skill set!
As many of the staff have had other careers and life experiences before embracing the outdoors every member of the team brings something different - and sometimes a little unusual to the table.
The Deadwater Rangers constantly update and refresh their skills in order to keep current and to meet all health and safety guidelines.
