The Heritage Parks Federation made up of Din L-Art Helwa, Nature Trust and Gaia Foundation, today condemned in the strongest possible terms the attempts at intimidation of its rangers which has been occurring these last few days.

This has principally been in the form of graffiti singling out rangers which has appeared in at least four localities, a statement said

The rangers patrol Majjistral Park and Golden Bay beach. Their duties include stopping dumping, littering and off roading in the park and also non gas BBQ’s at Golden Bay beach. This is well received by the public who appreciate the work done by so few rangers to keep the area clean and open to the public for the enjoyment of all.

The Heritage Parks Federation filed a report with the police and asked for the continued cooperation of the public whilst condemning these vandal acts aimed at hindering the work done by the rangers.
