Editing Wormwood Scrubs (section)

==Conservation efforts==
Conservation work  being carried out in Wormwood Scrubs by Groundwork London has been a subject of controversy among users of the Scrubs. The primary goal is to connect each patch of the [[Local Nature Reserve]] within the grounds by a [[wildlife corridor]] in the form of low hedges and trees.{{citation needed|date=February 2015}} Ultimately, it is claimed that this will benefit [[biodiversity]] in the park and create better foraging routes for bats such as the [[common pipistrelle]].

Habitats for the local [[common lizard]]s are also being changed, e.g. by the removal of scrub to create basking areas. This work includes planting trees, and it is feared{{By whom|date=July 2020}} that this could jeopardise the open nature of the common. The bulk of the work is currently{{When|date=July 2020}} being undertaken by volunteers for Groundwork London, a government quasi non-governmental organisation funded largely through a levy on landfill.{{Citation needed|date=July 2020}}
