Islamic Relief UK lists Epping Forest conservation day for 31 October

A community day outdoors

Islamic Relief UK is listing Caring for Creation, a free conservation day in Epping Forest, for Saturday 31 October 2026, from 10am to 2:30pm. Its linked booking page describes a partnership with Epping Forest Heritage Trust and welcomes people from all backgrounds.

This is an advance event notice checked on 24 October, not a report that the session has already happened. The organiser’s pages do not show an original announcement date; check the current listing before making plans.

Check the specific meeting point

The booking page gives Epping Forest Visitors Centre, 6 Ranger’s Road, Chingford, E4 7QH, as the location. That is more specific than the broad forest location on the event’s main page. Use the linked booking information and confirm any subsequent instructions before setting off.

The Heritage Trust’s general Green Team page explains that conservation sessions can meet in different parts of the forest. Its regular programme is useful background, rather than confirmation of this special event’s full arrangements.

What the organiser says to expect

The event description outlines small-scale habitat work, with possible tasks including clearing dense holly and using cut material to make wildlife habitat piles. It says tools and training will be provided. These are listed possibilities, not a guaranteed task allocation.

The Trust’s separate regular-session information refers to adults over 18. Do not assume that this establishes the age rules for 31 October: ask the organisers about this particular event, especially when planning to bring a child or requesting accessibility support.

A short checklist before you go

The organiser recommends weather-proof clothing, sturdy boots, snacks, water and lunch. Alongside that advice, AL-Naqawa suggests checking the following practical details:

• Open the official event and booking pages to check the latest arrangements and availability.
• Confirm the meeting point, journey and any age or accessibility requirements.
• Ask the organiser about breaks and facilities; check local prayer times when planning your day.

Where to confirm details

Use Islamic Relief UK’s event page and its linked registration service for current information. AL-Naqawa reports the listing independently; it does not book places, collect donations or organise the session.
