Epping Forest is a unique and ancient landscape home to centuries-old trees and an internationally important array of wildlife. It’s also a vital green space for millions of people. Caring for this historic woodland is an ongoing challenge as it receives over 10 million visits per year and there are some 8000 acres to protect. Every donation helps us preserve the Forest landscape now and for future generations.
