Christmas Giving Campaign
The campaign aims to ensure that no child, living in the district, goes without receiving a Christmas present.
Gifts will be provided for identified children, living in care, temporary accommodation, and in personal circumstances or conditions that might deny them the kindness that other children experience this time of year.
Last year, your generous contributions via funds and collected donations, raised nearly £2000.
The gifts were distributed to children, aged between 2 and 17, who had been referred by local schools and frontline children and family service providers, based in the district
Deliver an unwrapped gift to the reception desk at Epping Forest District Council Civic Offices, 323 High Street, Epping, CM16 4BZ between 9am to 5pm before Thursday 12 December.
Please label your gift with the gender and approx. age of the child you wish to receive your gift. As a guideline we are looking for presents aged between 2-17 years
Rutting Season is here
It is now rutting season and it is most intense soon after dawn and before dusk, though some activity occurs throughout the day.
Epping Forest has a large deer population and sadly, the mortality rate for deer is still rising on the very busy forest roads.
Males, which are known as bucks, grow new antlers every year and around the time they lose them they claim a patch of ground as a rutting stand and advertise their presence with loud guttural bellows, attracting the female of the species known as Does. The Bucks fight off any rivals, often with tremendous battles of clashing antlers.
If you’re out and about in the forest during the rutting season it is wise to follow a few simple rules:
- If you have your dog with you, keep it on a lead and under close control.
- Keep your distance! Do not approach any deer closer than 50m and stay at least 100m from rutting deer.
- Pay special attention to any signage and follow its advice.
- If you find a deer advancing towards you or acting in a threatening manner, do not shout or wave at it. Back off slowly if possible; the deer may be satisfied that you have left its personal zone. Do not run, though, as this may trigger the animal into chasing you.
