About this Event
Join Muslim Women Connect x Epping Forest Heritage Trust for a fun conservation day!
Get a taste of what woodland conservation work is like and spend the morning in the forest learning some new skills.
The sessions will be led by our Conservation Officer with full approval and support from the City of London Corporation.
Tools and training will be provided on the day.
What are the tasks?
We tend to work in smaller areas where a sensitive and delicate approach is essential. Whether it is your first time or you are more experienced, join us and make an impact to conserve Epping Forest and its biodiversity.
Tasks may involve but not limited to
- Coppicing young trees to allow more light onto the forest floor
- Clearing dense Holly growth to allow light to reach the Forest floor, helping to re-establish plant and animal life
- Removing small Hawthorn, Silver birch and other young trees to open up the grassland more.
- Using what we have cut to create habitat piles for small animals and reptiles.
What to bring on the day?
- Clothing that you don't mind getting dirty
- Sturdy, weather proof boots
- Snacks, water and lunch
