The country goes to town

Sending our Rangers from the Lakes to the middle of Manchester might seem a bit of an odd thing to do but it works a treat when you're spreading the word that the countryside is a great place for kids to enjoy.

The National Trust had ranger and other staff from all over the North West helping out with the Trust's presence at the Dig The City festival in Manchester last week.

The National Trust 's Dig the City 'treehouse'
Dig the City is a week long urban garden festival that aims to transform a bit of Manchester into a garden city via food, flowers, a forest and a fête, with show gardens, markets, workshops and 100 tonnes of soil. The National Trust was just one of the corporate partners helping to make it a festival with variety and lots of fun.

Our Rangers were there to run kids' acitivities related to our own campaign ' 50 things to do before you're 11&3/4', and activities on offer included making kites and mudpies (the latter was a favourite with kids and Rangers alike!). We know these things are popular as we've been running them at Wray Castle on our Fun Fridays during the school holidays.

Here's the stand in action and spot our Ranger Sarah.

A lot of activity round the tables

 And now for those lovely finished mud pies...


For our Rangers this week it's back to working with a backdrop of hills, lakes and scenery; it's a tough life but someone has to do it!
