What does Swat do?

We look after the pathways and woodlands near the Lainshaw Estate in Stewarton - this entails cutting back overgrown trees and bushes, removing any fallen trees from the pathways and litter picking. The grass at the side of the pathways is regularly cut back. We have also planted trees around Stewarton to improve the environment. We meet every couple of weeks to carry out these tasks. Our work on the pathways allows the Stewarton residents, and visitors, access to lovely walks for leisure and exercise therefore promoting wellbeing.
