Join us as we explore Epping Forest and discover more about the nature and wildlife that lives here.

On this guided walk, learn about how we manage habitats both in the past and now and how these affect what we can see. This active session will involve finding out about all the living things within the woodland, from bugs to animals and trees, and some basic identification skills.
