Over the last year, the council has invested funding from various sources including the Scottish Government and National Lottery to enhance parks and other green areas.

In addition to providing savings from the council, the volunteers gain physical and mental health benefits which is especially important as many have previous mental health struggles.
The ranger service also organises many other activities for residents and groups such as litter picks and opportunities to spot wildlife including bats and badgers. Eight areas were designated as trial “no mow” areas last November to support wildlife and during the summer months surveys showed improvements at six of these, meaning mowing will either be stopped or reduced in the long term.
