In recent years, the beloved swan population at Lodge Lake, Milton Keynes has faced a dire threat. For two consecutive years, these graceful creatures have had their nests destroyed, jeopardising the survival of their eggs and disrupting the natural balance of the lake's ecosystem. This heartbreaking situation has galvanised our local community group to take immediate action to protect the swans and their natural habitat.

The swans at Lodge Lake are not just an integral part of the local wildlife, but they also symbolise the tranquility and biodiversity of our beloved park. Swans are vital to maintaining the ecological balance in our lakes, contributing to the health and beauty of the area that residents and visitors enjoy every day.

Our community group is earnestly seeking permission from The Parks Trust to implement a protection plan for the swans. This would involve constructing protective barriers around nesting areas, increasing surveillance to deter potential vandals, and raising awareness about the importance of preserving swan habitats. These measures aim to ensure a safe and nurturing environment for the swans to thrive.

The Parks Trust has a history of supporting wildlife conservation, and we believe that by granting us permission to build a protective barrier, add a floating nest to the lake, and install a CCTV camera and signage, they will reinforce their commitment to protecting the natural heritage of Milton Keynes.

Join us in advocating for the protection of the swans at Lodge Lake. Your support in signing this petition will be instrumental in prompting The Parks Trust to take action. Let's safeguard our swans and preserve the natural beauty of Lodge Lake for generations to come. Please sign this petition to make a difference.
