Fallen Tree - stock photo

25th October 2021, Epping Forest, Essex, UK. This is a photograph of a fallen tree in Epping Forest, Essex. The forest has a number of fallen trees and branches throughout the woodland, which have died or cut down due to disease. The forest is also full of diverse species of tree such as oak, birch, beech, hornbeam and holly. The autumn colors are now beginning to reveal themselves as winter approaches. Epping Forest is the largest open space in the London area at just over 6,000 acres, stretching from Manor Park in East London to just north of Epping in Essex. It’s a resource for wildlife and has areas of open grasslands, magnificent beech woodlands, around 80 major ponds and small lakes, with significant bird life and numerous species. This expanse of nature and wildlife exists just a few miles from central London.
