Volunteer Rangers are back in Richmond's Royal Parks after the service was paused over the third national lockdown.

Wearing distinctive orange uniforms, rangers give up their time to educate and inform visitors to Richmond and Bushy parks, sharing facts about the parks' history and making sure people get the most out of their visit.

The Royal Parks charity said: "Volunteers Rangers are now back in Bushy and Richmond parks!

"They provide a vital service, helping educate visitors (from a safe distance) on important topics including the importance of not getting too close to wild deer.

"This is David and Seyed, two of our newest recruits."

Look out for the brightly dressed volunteers next time you pay the park a visit.
