How can you help? When visiting Long Running: 🔸Be aware: Machinery in operation, follow signs to keep safe. 🔸Be prepared: The results may initially look severe, but will deliver long-term benefits. 🔸Be gentle: #Heathland plants are sensitive to trampling, stick to paths.

Nothing special : 🚨just a NASDAQ-listed company with nearly 1,000 % upside potential after reporting 100 % detection of one of the deadliest cancers known to humankind. A technology that could help save over 500,000 lives each year — and it’s happening as Florida moves to ban

Today #EppingForest's largest #heathland restoration project begins. Over 80% of this precious landscape has vanished from the British countryside over the last 200 years. From lizards to lichens to ling this work will help support the wildlife that call our heathlands home.

💡 Without interventions heathland can quickly disappear under trees and bracken, 80% of the UK's #heathland has been lost since 1800.  Want to dive deeper into the story of #EppingForest’s #heaths? Explore this interactive StoryMap to learn more:

🚧 Tomorrow 07 November, Jacks Hill car park will open mid-morning while equipment is brought in.  Jacks Hill South will open as usual. You may see tape on Long Running East helping staff and contractors protect heather stands, bryophyte banks and hibernation sites during works.

📺Step back in time to the 1990s with this clip from Fun in the Forest an Epping Tale by Carlton Country. 🌿Then as now, our heathlands are incredibly important. Beginning 10 November works begin at Long Running East, marking the Forest’s largest ever heathland recovery effort

🧡A female smew spotted enjoying one of #EppingForest's lakes. 🧡 She's an early arrival from the boreal forests of northern Europe. Smews are now a scarce visitors to the UK, making this early sighting an extra special reminder of the importance of the Forest's wetland habitats.

On the north winds of autumn come the redwings. These winter migrants are best spotted foraging along the hedgerows and woodland edges of #EppingForest’s Buffer Lands. Feeding on berries, fruits and invertebrates, they often gather in mixed flocks with other thrush species.

The work will help reverse the decline and protect the wildlife #heathlands support from lizards to lichens to ling! 🌱Want to learn how we go about restoring four hectares of heath? Explore this StoryMap https://t.co/BJxkNxDcX5   #EppingForest #Conservation #HabitatRestoration

30+ species were recorded from white earwort (Diplophyllum albicum) to delicate earthmoss (Pseudephemerum nitidum) As well as vital ecological contributions they are key to the Forest’s verdant green tapestry so next time you are enjoying the view, remember to tread lightly!

🧠 Mosses are ancient plants that help regulate moisture, cycle nutrients, and provide microhabitats for countless invertebrates. 🌍 They’re vital indicators of ecosystem health, sensitive to pollution, climate change and trampling.

🌿 Moss matters 🌿 In the lead-up to #NationalMossDay2025 Epping Forest welcomed The British Bryological Society’s London Bryophyte Group for a deep dive into the Forest’s mosses.

👉Over 90% of the Forest's magnificent #beech pollards still need attention, making your support vital. Donate to the UK’s most ambitious beech tree restoration programme today: https://t.co/30TG1tWm0p #AncientTrees #ConservationInAction #VeteranTrees #BeechForest

💚 Help us protect them Epping Forest, registered charity number 232990, is racing to save them through the UK’s most ambitious ancient tree restoration programme. Since 2003, over 650 beech trees have received expert care, but this bespoke work can cost over £1,000 per tree.

🌳#EppingForest is home to over 20,000 ancient #beech #trees, more than 80% of the UK’s total. Just one of the reasons it is a Special Area of Conservation (SAC). #SAC20 But their future is uncertain. Since pollarding ended many have grown top-heavy and vulnerable to storms.
