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.
ECA supports the preservation and protection of Epsom Common. They We work in partnership with Epsom & Ewell Borough Council, the Lower Mole Countryside Management Project and English Nature to contribute to the long-term management and conservation of the Common.
