Section H: Forest Rise green verge

The Forest Rise Green Verge proposal seeks to create links with Epping Forest and enhance the existing trail to create a pleasant walking route, and to provide a space the local residents and the community can take ownership of, growing fruit trees and bushes.

The green strip on the northern edge of Whipps Cross could be enhanced, intensifying the planting by adding trees, shrubs and wildflower meadow planting. Enhanced planting including additional trees, shrubs and wildflower meadow seek to create opportunities for the local community to grow and harvest fruit.

Key features:

• Additional tree and wildflower meadow planting
• Introduction of fruit trees and bushes as part of a community or resident led scheme
• Creating or enhancing the informal green pathway
