Who we are
Epsom Common Association (ECA) was founded in 1974 by a group of local people who cared passionately about the protection and future welfare of Epsom Common. Now, 30 years on, the ECA has over 800 members and more than 30 volunteers, the ECOVOLS, who regularly carry out conservation management tasks on the Common.
Our Patron is the Mayor of Epsom and Ewell.
Our goals are:
- to protect the Common from any proposed building, road development or encroachment
- to preserve the amenity value of the Common for all users
- to maintain and enhance the Common’s unique character and wide range of habitats and status as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and Local Nature Reserve (LNR)
- to continue a joint management forum with Epsom and Ewell Borough Council and participate further in the long-term management of the Common through the Management Plan.
