Loughton station was opened on this day in 1940, originally part of the LNER network. It was designed by John Murray Easton with a square ticket hall and curved platform shelters. It became part of the Central Line in November 1948 https://t.co/jOVvULuYry
The recent spring weather has been drier and warmer than usual, with many wildfires around the country. Please keep an eye out for any fires, especially in the Epping Forest. Call 999 if you see a fire. https://t.co/19YLQd73Yj

If you visit this weekend, please continue to stick to the paths. Did you know that stepping on bluebells can damage the plants for 7 years? So please leave the bluebells as you find them, for the wildlife to benefit from and for other visitors to enjoy.
Thank you!

Beautiful ramsons are filling the air with their distinctive ‘wild garlic‘ scent in #EppingForest just now.
Please do not pick the ramsons, but leave them where you find them, for the wildlife to benefit from and for other visitors to enjoy. Thank you 💚
Help us to conserve the bluebells in Epping Forest 💚
Please visit responsibly, do not pick or step on the bluebells.
Help us to protect these precious flowers for the wildlife to benefit from and future generations to enjoy!
Thank you.

Bluebells can take years to recover from trampling as crushed leaves die back leaving the plant without food.
Take a moment to listen to @benjmurf explain how to visit Chalet Woods responsibly to ensure the #bluebells their can continue to thrive.

More lazy reporting of the OBR
Building 1.5m homes will fix the housing affordability crisis, claims govt - additional supply should bring prices and rents down.
No, says OBR: this would only add 0.5% to the overall stock and would reduce prices by 0.8% https://t.co/hl1r5KQduV
It’s now confirmed that Toby Carvery did indeed fell the Whitewebbs Oak, on the same day that evidence is emerging the tree may have been 500 years old. The lame excuse they gave that the tree was “dead” is not only false (ecologists have found green buds on the felled branches) but in any case inadequate: ancient oaks host many unique species in their dying phase, which can take a century or more.
@tobycarvery now need to apologise for this desecration of our natural heritage & reassure us all that trees elsewhere on their estate are safe; if not, customers should boycott them as a company.
The fact that a company like Tony Carvery can apparently just decide to fell a tree older than the United Kingdom without consulting the authorities, arboriculturalists or ecologists shows that our current tree protection regime is clearly inadequate. In this comment piece for the Evening Standard, I look deeper at the problems with legal tree protections, & some potential solutions.

@eefnews 😂 you have to be kidding…. Used to shop in Epping loads - hardly ever do since this was built + on the odd occasion I do - I park at Tescos. Know lots of people feel the same. Nothing wrong with the original car park, in my view
The bluebells are beginning to emerge in #EppingForest. When visiting please do take great care & help us conserve these native #bluebells. Don't pick them & don't step on them. If you are visiting the bluebells in #WansteadPark please keep to the designated pathways. Thank you.
If you're free at 2pm tomorrow (Thursday 20 March) please join us at the #EppingForest Visitor Centre at #Chingford for a guided tour of the Golden Jubilee Royals and Rangers Exhibition!
We hope to see you there!
Not the clearest image I know - but I’m wondering if I have a Red Kite sighting here? I had originally thought SparrowHawk but don’t think the markings are right for that… @RSPBNELondonGrp@Natures_Voice@CRCuthbert
