In 2021, CSH launched an innovative project to employ Nature Recovery Rangers at NHS sites in three locations around England. The rangers arrived at the hospitals with a remit to run nature engagement activities and act as advocates for biodiversity: leading on food growing, wildlife-friendly gardening, nature walks, tree planting and more.

Throughout the year we collected data to help us evaluate this new and exciting initiative. We monitored the rangers’ activities, conducted surveys of the activity participants; invited written feedback from NHS partners where the rangers were working; and recorded ecological improvements at their sites.

The results have given us growing confidence in the benefits of this approach. Read a summary plus the full evaluation here: https://nhsforest.org/news/ranger-evaluation-finds-wins-for-ecology-and…
