This session is designed for young people considering a future career in forestry, arboriculture or landscaping. Join our Outdoor Learning Team and one of our Landscape Officers to hear about their career path and job role and we take an interesting stroll around the city's largest park, Campbell Park.

Our Landscape Officer will share the highs, lows and challenges of working for the charity that cares for over 6,000 acres of parks, woodland and lakes in Milton Keynes.  

This event is free but booking is essential. Under 18's must be accompanied by an adult. Please book a ticket for each person attending. 

Campbell Park has a number of steep slopes. The walk will be at a moderate pace with stops to look at landscape features. There are a some benches on the route however these are sporadic so you may wish to bring a portable stool with you if required.

Accessible parking is available at this park. Toilets, including an accessible toilet are available to use at the Pavilion on request. There are no refreshements available in this park. 

We would love to make these sessions enjoyable for all, so please do get in touch on outdoorlearning@theparkstrust.com if you have any accessibility requirements. A hearing loop is available on request.
