An Aboriginal ranger group in Central Australia is working to inspire the next generation, visiting schools and hosting community events to share their work on Country.

The Ltyentye Apurte Rangers, based in the remote community of Ltyentye Apurte (Santa Teresa), about 80 kilometres south-east of Mparntwe / Alice Springs, held an open day aimed at recruiting new rangers and strengthening local engagement last week.

The event drew strong interest from community members, with a notable turnout of women and young people.

"It was great to see lots of women, including a visit from the girls of the school's junior ranger program," the Central Land Council said.

Students from the local school's junior ranger program also attended, coming face to face with what their future could look like.

The open day gave community members a chance to learn more about the work rangers do on Country, including environmental management and caring for local ecosystems.

The outreach continued in Mparntwe, where the rangers visited Sadadeen Primary School to connect with students through hands-on learning.

During the visit, rangers led a meet-and-greet session, answered students' questions and ran a scavenger hunt designed to teach children how to identify native animals and invasive plant species.
