The heart of Epping is threatened by the potential loss of an historic Giant Redwood tree that's resided on the corner of Tidys Lane and Palmers Hill, long before the Fir Trees flats were built.

Planning application EPF/0691/24 has proposed the felling of this beloved landmark that has been a part of our community for generations.

The Epping Society is dedicated to preserving the local environment and promoting our town's heritage, and we believe this tree is an integral part of both.

This Redwood is one of the oldest and largest in the area, providing essential habitat for local wildlife. Its loss would not only impact biodiversity, but also forever change the character of our town.

The Epping Society, celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, calls on all residents and friends of Epping to join in the effort to preserve this remarkable local treasure. Sign the petition and lend your voice to the protection of our iconic Giant Redwood tree in Epping. Let us ensure that generations to come can enjoy its majesty.
