Richmond (The Sausage) is our Sutton Bank National Park Centre dog of the week this week! Richmond is the Grand-dog of one of our team, and popped in to say hi last week. Richmond was keen to be a Ranger for the day, driving around in our Land Rover!

If you're interested in the experience of volunteers in the North York Moors National Park, or have ever thought about volunteering yourself, then please listen to the latest episode of the Grey Matters More podcast (link in comments).

This new series explores how people are finding purpose, connection, adventure and fulfilment in later life.

Hosted by two recently retired broadcasting professionals, the podcast shines a light on volunteering, community projects, new hobbies, personal growth and the inspiring people who are embracing fresh opportunities after retirement.

This week's episode 'Volunteer Power On The North York Moors' was recorded at Sutton Bank National Park Centre and includes interviews with Volunteer Engagement Office Paul Bamber and one of our many dedicated volunteers, Paul Wellford.

Hear about how volunteers are helping to protect landscapes, support local communities, preserve heritage and create opportunities for future generations. If the episode inspires you to find out more, please visit the Volunteering pages of our website.

It's Friday! Time to meet our Sutton Bank National Park Centre ! 🐕

Lovely Pip came to visit this week. Pip is a red & white border collie - named because his colours are like an apple pip!

Pip enjoyed his visit alongside his owners Andrew and Jan, who had come to see their granddaughter's artwork on our new digital arts & wellbeing trail in collaboration with The Northern School Of Art. Head to our website for full info on all 10 locations ⬇️ https://www.northyorkmoors.org.uk/things-to-do/arts-and-culture/wander-art-trail

Art, wellbeing, nature, walking AND a free doggy ice cream for Pip? What a visit! 🌿
