Parish Paths Wardens

Parish Paths Wardens are Parish based and usually they are nominated by the parish or town council and then appointed by Worcestershire County Council following an informal interview with the Countryside Access Maintenance and Improvement Officer.

Parish Paths Wardens are expected to survey all the paths within their parish on a yearly basis, waymark the routes, carry out minor vegetation clearance and minor repairs as well as act as a local contact.

Parish Paths Wardens would receive training in all aspects of their work including optional duties they may like to take on, regular newsletters, as well as advice and support from their Area Countryside Access Officer.

Recreational Route Wardens

Worcestershire County Council's Countryside Service manages a number of waymarked circular walks and long distance trails. 

Recreational Route Wardens look after a circular walk or a section of trail.  Each volunteer's role is to assistance in the maintenance and improvement of each trail, by regularly inspecting the route, carrying out waymarking, minor repairs and minor vegetation clearance and report back on the standard of their section of trail to their Countryside Access Maintenance and Improvement Officer.
