Friendly Rangers

The Rangers are volunteers dedicated to the safety of the participants of Where the Sheep Sleep. The Rangers are a broad cross-section of the Burning Man Netherlands community who volunteer some of their time in the role of non-confrontational community mediators. They are empowered by the community and Burning Man Netherlands to address safety concerns, mediate disputes, and resolve conflicts when they cannot be resolved by the persons involved. Rangers encourage a community of shared responsibility. Even though these Rangers are not the police, they are to be respected (and hugged, and fluffed when appropriate). Serious matters will be resolved by our on-site professional security team. Directions and requests are to be followed and respected.
