Volunteers are being sought to help turn an old allotment site into a nature reserve.
Epping Forest Countrycare staff will clear bramble bushes, cut grass and trim trees at the site, off Willingale Road in Loughton, and are appealing for the community to help.
The site has been named the 'Dragon Garden' after slow worms and lizards, both protected species, protected species, were found at the site.
Volunteers are asked to meet staff at the site between 10am and 4pm on September 25.
