Epping Forest has long been cherished by people & communities. Now as the temperature rises & extreme weather becomes more frequent due to climate change, the Forest’s ancient trees & precious wildlife are under threat more than ever. This is exacerbated by the high levels of adjacent development planned over the next few years. We must ensure more people care and love the Forest, help its conservation & protection so that both people and the Forest can thrive now and for generations to come.

We will mobilise more members, supporters and volunteers to do more than ever before to help protect & preserve the Forest. We will involve more people in our walks and community engagement activities to learn about, & come to love, the Forest; involve more people in our conservation activities to increase its biodiversity; & do more to protect the Forest from adjacent development & pollution through engaging more volunteers in our awareness-raising, advocacy & campaigning activities.
