As a ranger, Charles’ responsibilities include providing guidance to the deputy ranger, along with his team, to help him focus on the day-to-day management of one of the oldest properties in the country. Charles has already taken over the management of the Sandringham estate in Norfolk, and will put his longtime environmental interests and conservation work to good use in his latest role as King. The Great Park is home to several veteran and ancient oak and beech trees. Prince Philip reintroduced red deer to Deer Park in 1979 and then in 2012 a row of young native oaks called Ranger’s Avenue was planted.

Crown Estate Managing Director, Rural Ranger and Deputy Windsor Great Park, Paul Sedgwick, said in a statement that they were “honored” that the “tradition of the Sovereign and members of the Royal Family playing this role” would continue. “Windsor has a wonderful heritage with many beautiful natural habitats,” he added. “Her Majesty’s passion and commitment to the natural world will prove invaluable as we seek to become a center of excellence for best environmental practices, preserving and enhancing the Greater Park for generations to come.”
