Epping Forest Green Lanes Local Wildlife Site Project

As part of our commitment to National Indicator 197 (Biodiversity and Local Wildlife Sites) Countrycare is attempting to get as many Local Wildlife Sites into positive management by working with the landowners and local community.

One suite of sites we have chosen to targeted are the districts wonderful "green lanes". Essex has the second highest number of green lanes in the country and in this district we have a number that are hugely important both for recreation, wildlife and their landscape value.
