Merton Council, which manages Morden Park, was startled to discover tree felling occurred without their authorization and plans to hold an urgent meeting with Motspur Park FC to address this serious issue concerning park management and ecological conservation.
Local activists expressing their concern, highlighted that they felt bypassed in the decision-making process, which normally requires consultation on any actions impacting the park's ripe biodiversity and the habitats that hundreds of species depend on.
Local nature enthusiast Simon Wicks emphasized the critical importance of green spaces, noting that maintaining access to such areas is essential for mental and physical health, as well as for the environment's overall biodiversity.
Wicks pointed out the park's ecological wealth, stating, 'Half of the UK's butterfly species have been identified within the park. It is choc-a-block with butterflies and insects', stressing that even minor habitat damage could lead to significant ecological repercussions.
