Epping Forest is for Everyone to Love
2024 will be crucial for the future of nature and more specifically Epping Forest. In May there was local elections in Epping Forest District Council and the London Mayoral and London Assembly elections. And a General Election will be held on 4th July 2024. As people who love and care about the Forest it is crucial that we make our voices heard in these elections and consultations.
This is why we are running campaigns to raise awareness of the Forest and plan to ask candidates and councillors to pledge that they will show their love for the Forest in their decision-making.
