The teams in the field
The Park rangers have a multi-facetted job. They participate in scientific research and the monitoring of animal and plant species. They are responsible for helping inhabitants and visitors to discover and understand the environment of the National Park, and for raising their awareness of the challenges that sustainable development poses. Their role is also to monitor the special regulations that apply to the Park’s central zone.
The Cévennes National Park rangers are spread over five field offices:
- Aigoual
- Causse-Gorges
- Mont Lozère East
- Mont Lozère West
- Cevenol Valleys.
Each office has a head and in certain cases a deputy head. Each ranger is in charge of a clearly defined geographical sector.
The teams at headquarters
Staff at the company’s headquarters specialise in assignments of a technical, scientific and administrative nature as well as in cultural events, public information, etc., linked to the Park’s various activities.
Apart from the Management and General Secretariat , headquarters is organised into four main departments:
- the Environment, Protection and Sustainable Planning Department (SEPAD);
- the Town Planning and Regional Development Department (SUAT);
