IMPROVEMENTS at East Wichel Park have continued with the planting of 420 new trees.
South Swindon Parish Council's grounds team carried out the work around the north and west sections of the park.

Parish councillor Linda Kasmaty said: “It is great to see more trees added to the park. 

"This follows the recent planting of a tiny forest in East Wichel Park, as well as a new stone circle and the refurbishment of the play area. 

“The park is also set to undergo landscaping improvements in the coming weeks so there are lots of great things happening here. 

“We can’t wait to see the trees maturing and blending in to the park alongside the tiny forest and stone circle.”

Tree saplings include Wild Cherry, English Oak, Silver Birch and Hazel. They were provided by the Woodland Trust, which offers free community tree packs to schools and local authorities.
