The Danish Ranger scheme is a networked scheme administrated by a joint secretariat under the auspices of the Forest and Nature Agency and the Outdoor Council.

The Rangers work for the state forest districts, counties and municipalities, museums and organisations. There are currently 300 Rangers.

The Rangers organise a range of activities and outings in their local areas, and they also work to set up, coordinate and promote similar activities in the area, such as trips organised by The Danish Society for the Conservation of Nature, Danish Cyclists' Federation, DOF Danish Ornithological Society, the municipal parks administrations, etc. The counties and the state forest districts publish a large number of pamphlets with information about annual events. The majority of Ranger guided tours are conducted exclusively in Danish, but several places also conduct a limited number of tours in German. The tours are conducted throughout Denmark all year round.

The tour themes are very varied - ranging from bird watching through city walks to visits to water purifying plants. Many tours and events are specifically aimed at children and families. In most cases you can get an idea of the types of tours organised in a particular area by contacting the local libraries or the Forest and Nature Agency's Landscape Division in the county in question. Tours can often be organised - in English or German - for special groups of tourists.
