May is a beautiful time of new growth and rapid change in Epping Forest. Stark winter landscapes are left behind as we shift towards the full summer canopy with even the later budding trees, such as the oak, now regaining its full, green cloak of new leaves. Birdsong is at its finest and an array of butterflies flutter from late blossoms to early summer wildflowers. Change is also afoot for visitors this spring with the introduction of car parking charges in some of the busier car parks. Full details of which car parks are affected are on our website. We recognise that this may at first seem an unwelcome change, but we hope our visitors will understand the need for introducing these charges.
