From 1928 until the early 1950s this area was the site of a
speedway racing track. In 1970, the City of London established a
Field Centre (now the Field Studies Centre) at High Beach which
runs a number of weekend and day courses covering a wide range of
natural history subjects, a number of the courses are suitable for
wheelchair users. Please contact the Field Studies Centre directly
to obtain the programme and discuss accessibility of the individual
courses.
Suntrap Forest Education Centre, situated in
Church Road, High Beach, is owned by the London Borough of Waltham
Forest. The centre provides opportunities for environmental
education and adventurous activities for schools and other groups
from the London Borough of Waltham Forest and beyond.
Epping
Forest Centenary Trust
The Epping Forest Centenary Trust (EFCT)is dedicated to helping
disadvantaged children, especially those from primary schools in
the poorer London boroughs, to learn about and appreciate the
wonders of woodland life on their doorstep. Many come from
backgrounds in which forests and their natural life are considered
a danger to humanity rather than a benefit. The EFCT's watchwords
are therefore awareness and conservation in a managed ecological
environment. The EFCT work closely with the Epping Forest
authorities to achieve complementary aims, based on Epping Forest's
original statute, providing a green space for all to enjoy. The
EFCT is a fully independent charity, relying entirely on income and
investments from well-wishers. The EFCT work from the Epping Forest
headquarters, The Warren, Loughton, Essex, IG10 4RN, with the
goodwill of Epping Forest's Conservators. Please visit the EFCT
website for further information.
