Our fight to protect 16 acres of open green space will continue as a lawsuit(read here)  against the city ignoring key points in the California Environmental Quality Act.  There are two other lawsuits against the City of Los Angeles regarding the Historical Cultural Monument status of this property. October 14, 2024 is the hearing regarding the merits of our lawsuit.

 

Until then, we would like to keep the developer accountable for their mitigation efforts in not disturbing bird nests and roosting maternal bats.

It is our understanding that there are active nesting birds on the Weddington site and the potential for maternity roosting bats based on recent surveys conducted on the site. It appears the tree removals may be trees used by those species are within the 300 foot buffer area around the nesting trees that is required to be protected by mitigation measures.
