July 31st is World Ranger Day, whats that about you might ask, well as a former ranger who is still involved in a small way with caring for our countryside I belong to an international organisation that believes we should honour those who have given their lives to protect the wildlife and world around us.
Most of the people who have died will have left wives and families who dont get any of the luxuries we take for granted such as insurance, death benefits or pensions. So please remember them on the 31st July and think of them the next time you watch a wildlife programme. You could also go to the Thin Green Line and make a donation.
