Go Wild with the Rangers
Join one of our Rangers to discover all things wild around Calke Explore.
Spend some time with one of our knowledgeable rangers, learning about all the plants and animals around Calke Explore that they help to care for.
They’ll teach you how to identify some of our native trees and flowers, all the while keeping an eye out for the creatures that call the site home, from our feathered friends to creepy crawlies (not that we find them creepy). They’ll also tell you about some of the work they do to help look after the estate, ensuring all of the above thrive.
