The group carried out crown lifting at Lydiard Park, an activity that involves carefully removing lower tree branches to create more space along paths and open areas. This type of maintenance helps improve visibility, keeps routes accessible and allows visitors to enjoy the park safely, while protecting the long-term health of the trees. Swindon Borough Council expressed its gratitude to the volunteer rangers for their time and dedication to maintaining parks and green spaces in a Facebook post yesterday. The council said: "A huge thank you to our volunteer rangers for the time and dedication they give to helping care for our parks and green spaces." The council has also invited others to become volunteer rangers, with more information on how to apply available on its website.
