Here are
some links that we think our visitors might
be interested in. If you manage a website,
which is not listed below, and you think a
link would be suitable, please drop us a
line.
We work in conjunction with the Epping
Forest Centenary Trust, which is a small
independent environmental charity dedicated
to offering opportunities for groups from
London and the local area to be introduced to
Epping Forest through environmental awareness
programmes and practical conservation
work. www.efct.info
The City of London
(until recently known as the Corporation of
London) is by an 1878 Act of Parliament
appointed the conservator of Epping Forest.
The strictures of the Epping Forest Act of
1878 still govern how the Forest is managed
today.
The City of London has kindly sponsored
the work done by Project since its
conception, in return for the conservation
tasks we complete. Without their generosity
it is unlikely we could continue with our
work. www.cityoflondon.gov.uk
 Project
is run by a national Scout Fellowship for
Explorer Scouts and members of the Scout
Network.
