Refill Cooper Park pond now to protect remaining wildlife


Refill Cooper Park pond now to protect remaining wildlife
The Issue
For years, the swans at Cooper Park Pond in Elgin have been a cherished sight for people of all ages, bringing joy to all who visit. Tragically, the recent neglect by Moray Council has left these beautiful creatures in distress, leading to the heartbreaking death of the longstanding female swan. While it is too late to save her, it is not too late to prevent further tragedy for the other wildlife who depend on this vital water source.
Cooper Park Pond is not only a recreational site but serves as an essential habit for wildlife, providing them with water, food, and shelter. The current condition, a result of the council's failure to refill the pond, has left the surviving swans and other wildlife struggling to survive in harsh, unnatural conditions.
By refilling the pond, the council can restore this habitat and ensure the safety and survival of the remaining wildlife. This requires immediate intervention to prevent further deaths.
Moray Council must act swiftly to correct this oversight and demonstrate their commitment to preserving our local wildlife. The future of Cooper Park's wildlife depends on it, and so does the community's trust in their governance.
Sign this petition to demand that Moray Council refills Cooper Park Pond now. Our collective voice can create change for the benefit of the wildlife and the community alike. Please join us in this urgent call for action.
