A CLOTHING company whose warehousing facility is at Steeton is kitting out rangers working in the Yorkshire Dales National Park this winter.

Damart has provided 22 sets of thermal 'active wear' long johns and tops for the park's outdoor team.

Alan Hulme, the team's head of ranger services, said: "Our rangers work outside all year round and in all types of weather looking after 2,300 kilometres of public rights of way and open access land.

"We are especially grateful to Damart for providing us with the clothing that helps us with our vital work to conserve wildlife and the environment and to promote the understanding and enjoyment of the area in what can sometimes be hostile conditions."

Ben Phillips, Damart's senior customer experience manager, said: "With our heritage firmly set in Yorkshire for the last 50 years, we have a strong affinity with our local area and we are really pleased to help the authority and its work towards conserving our beautiful National Park."
