2019: Wetland creation at Elephant Park
This project has visibly enhanced and diversified the park environment, resulting in a more varied use of the land. Improved scrub-land, laid hedge and newly-planted trees have allowed access and engagement with the community on nature conservation and environmental educational activities, as well as provide a serene place for people to relax and enjoy their local park.
Enhancements
- Creation of 2 ponds, providing more space for water, away from residential areas, and therefore reducing the likelihood of flooding.
- Planting native wetland vegetation.
- Scrub restoration.
- Hedgelaying.
- Tree planting.
Partners: Greater London Authority, Woodlarks and Waders and Oak Farm Resident Association.
