Countrycare Team @eppingforestdc were on Roughtalley's Wood at North Weald Bassett today, hosting a children's Christmas Treasure Hunt. We even saw the Epping Ongar train. After solving riddles, everyone got a bag of treats 😁 Merry Christmas to everyone and see you in 2025 😀

Don't discard your #pumpkins in the woods - they can be harmful to wildlife. 🎃

Note: don't bury or compost your pumpkin seeds unless you are prepared to grow pumpkin plants - you can dry your seeds and plant these in the spring and early summer.🌱

Countrycare Volunteers, over the last couple of weeks, have been working on a new pond project at #Nazeing Triangle. This pond has been added to the site for the conservation of Great Crested Newts. @eppingforestdc @ARC-Bytes

We were at Home Mead Local Nature Reserve for our #Volunteer task. Clearing ditches, doing some hedge laying, and creating a new boggy area with ditches and ponds, this is long term project so watch this space for more updates! #amphibian #wildlife #marshes 😁

Thinking about Christmas? @EFDMuseum have Father Christmas visiting them on 2 December! Make sure you get the date in your diary so you don't miss the big man https://t.co/kuo3fkbWZ2 🎅🏻🎄

A new interpretation panel on Abbotts Wood in Waltham Abbey has gone in @eppingforestdc @EFDMuseum Schools and youth groups have been using the site to explore their local open space, so we thought it would be nice to let them know what they could find! #Explore 🌳🐞🦗

[Forestry Commission @ForestryComm]

Tree diseases can spread via the sawdust on your chainsaw. Make sure you clean your chainsaw thoroughly between each site visit.

If you have, or suspect, a harmful tree pest or disease in your woodland, clean your chainsaw between each tree that you work on.

Our education officers have taking local school pupils on a History and Wellbeing walk around Abbots Wood in Waltham Abbey. Children loved finding out about the special history of their area and enjoyed learning outside.
