Well, it looks like winter has a sting in the tail, after all. We must indeed say thank you to the brave souls who came out to Stanton Park on Sunday for our Spot the Birdie event. We've submitted the details to the boffins at the RSPB and we are sure that along with everyone elses results, they will prove useful in efforts to grow our knowledge of the UK's environment and bird populations. Once again, thank you for all your help!!

Good afternoon! Its definitely set to be one of the mildest winters on record, unless you count the Cretaceous period of course, when Britain was under a Tropical sea (Visit Town Gardens for some great evidence of this!)
This means spring is on the way, which is a fantastic time to visit our Parks and Woods!
We always have plenty of free, fun and informative events at this time, and we want the lovely people of Swindon to know about them.

Please can you help us spread the word by sharing our page with the world?

Thank you to everyone who came on our historical walk around Coate Water on sunday. Our group of 19 had a great time and everybody managed to learn something new.
See you again!
