The annual Summer Discovery Ranger Program was launched by Environment, Parks and Heritage minister Brian Wightman. “Summer is a wonderful time to get outdoors and celebrate how lucky we are to live in a beautiful, natural place like Tasmania,” Mr Wightman said. “This program offers many opportunities ... led by a skilled and passionate team of rangers, who provide a really memorable experience,” he said.
Summer Rangers will be based at 15 parks and reserves across the state, providing a wide range of free programs for all ages. Details are available on the Parks and Wildlife Service website at www.parks.tas.gov.au
