We currently have three full-time rangers at Murlough and Mourne. If you add the additional 1,400 acres which we manage on Slieve Donard and Slieve Commedagh, it’s a huge area to look after. We depend on and value our volunteers, which are a must for Murlough.
The benefits
At Murlough we see volunteering as a mutually beneficial partnership – a win for both the National Trust and the volunteer. Volunteers get to meet new people and learn new skills in a spectacular setting. We gain from getting vital help with the valuable work we do tackling invasive species and conserving our fragile habitats.
