## About

Thames Chase covers 40 square miles of former gravel pits and farmland on the edge of east London and Essex, and has been turning it into accessible woodland for thirty years. Volunteers at the Forest Centre in Upminster help run the community tree nursery, do conservation work and host events, usually for a few hours a week. Events are ticketed through its site.
