About Robin Pettitt
A passionate nature conservationist, wildlife photographer and educator, currently doing the MSc in Conservation Science and Practice at the Centre for Environmental Policy, Imperial College.
When not doing practical hands-on conservation work in Epping Forest or schlepping a huge wildlife camera/lens combo around in a desperate hope of finally finding that elusive Tawney Owls he keeps hearing, he enjoys reading about biodiversity conservation, both generally and in the specific context of Epping Forest.

About Epping Forest Heritage Trust (EFHT) and our Guided Walks in Epping Forest
Join our Guided Walks to discover more of Epping Forest and its ecology, heritage and cultural. Walks are led by our expert volunteer leaders. Some are a gentle stroll, whilst others are taken at a faster pace. Each walk tends to focus on a small part of the Forest, and sometimes with specific themes ranging from local histry to natural environment.
About Epping Forest Together Project
This walk is part of 'Epping Forest Together' project, made possible thanks to National Lottery Community Fund. To find out more about Epping Forest Together and other ways you can get involved, please visit EFHT's website here.
