We are thrilled to be able to offer a number of fully funded opportunities for eligible schools to learn about Epping Forest, and understand and become engaged with farming and the environment.
Cattle have been grazed in Epping Forest for more than a thousand years. They have played a vital role in creating and maintaining the varied mosaic of grassland, heath, and wood-pasture habitats, that the 1878 Epping Forest Act sought to protect.
The visit will last two hours and will be led by the Field Studies Council. During the visit the links between farming, conservation and food production will be explained, using the land as a classroom. The session will be tailored to the group, and can cater to all ages, from primary to Alevel and will connect to relevant curriculum content.
