Voices of Epping Forest
Many people in the UK struggle to access nature. Over four episodes, we’ll delve into some of the obstacles that can prevent us from getting outdoors.
However, Voices of Epping Forest is also a celebration. We’ll meet people from all walks of life who love nature, particularly Epping Forest. These folk are passionate about helping more of us feel like we belong in green spaces.
Produced and presented by Talia Randall, whose previous podcast Blossom Trees and Burnt-Out Cars covered similar themes, this podcast also revels in the beauty of Epping Forest itself. We’ll journey through some of Epping Forest’s many stunning spots. From the aquatic landscape of Connaught Water to the easy-access trail at High Beach and, of course, the ancient trees that cover so much of the forest.
