a Developer
Tekels Park is now being sold to a property development company by the
Theosophical Society in England, who are showing an apparent indifference to the
fate of the wildlife, that is in conflict with the long tradition of compassion for animals
within the Theosophical Movement.
For decades, volunteers have carried out the greater part of the

In 1995 the pond needed to emptied of a great accumulation of leaves.
The pond has no drainage pipe and the water was removed in buckets (400 in all)
so as not to harm the frogs and newts, which were rescued and returned later to
the pond.

These palnts were placed in baskets to control their growth.

Steps were placed at the edge of the pond to make it easier for birds to
have a drinks or take a bath.
Water Fountain

Who
Has Decided
To
Dump Tekels Park ?
The whole deal is
shrouded in so much secrecy that even the majority of the Theosophical
Society’s actual card carrying members don’t appear to know what is happening
but here are some contact points.
Tekels Park is owned by;
The
Theosophical Society in England (Adyar)

Please note that there
is more than one Theosophical Society. Only the Theosophical Society with its
headquarters at Gloucester Place, London is connected to Tekels Park. This is
generally known as the Theosophical Society (Adyar) as its international
headquarters are in Adyar, India.
The Theosophical Society
administers the Tekels Park Estate through a limited company
The Tekels

Theosophical Society in England are at a loss to know why the leadership
ignored professional advice in 2009 not to sell Tekels Park. Selling at such a bad
time puts the Theosophical Society in England’s leadership in a very weak
negotiating position. Nobody outside the leadership has seen the detailed
financial information on which the decision to sell Tekels Park
is based.
