Discover Trees in Epping Forest (Highams Park) - Guided Walk

Join our Trustee Abi for a circular walk around Highams Park lake, discover different tree species, trees old and young, and learn about the important roles trees play in our ecosystem and human history. This walk is part of the Urban Tree Festival (9-17 May 2026)

• Bring snack and water if needed
• Weather appropriate clothing
• Weather proof and study footware as some parts can be muddy and slippery

Join our Guided Walks to discover more of Epping Forest and its ecology, heritage and cultural. Walks are led by our expert volunteer leaders. Some are a gentle stroll, whilst others are taken at a faster pace. Each walk tends to focus on a small part of the Forest, and sometimes with specific themes ranging from local histry to natural environment.

This walk is part of 'Epping Forest Together' project, made possible thanks to National Lottery Community Fund. To find out more about Epping Forest Together and other ways you can get involved, please visit EFHT's website here.

This event is part of the annual Urban Tree Festival, a UK wide celebration of trees and nature in our cities, towns, suburbs and urban landscapes. The festival takes place from the 9th - 17th May 2026. You can find out more by visiting: www.urbantreefestival.org
