Plantation Panorama; Epping Forest Buffer Lands

This former meadow has been planted with native trees and has been protected by a deer resistant fence. The Buffer Lands are former private parks & farmland bought by the City of London Corporation to insulate Epping Forest from the effects of modern farming, to increase biodiversity and to prevent development that might affect the forest. Access is not as universal as in the "real" forest but there are many permissive paths for recreation.
