Volunteers are being sought to assist visitors to Epping Forest.

The Friends of Epping Forest is a registered charity working with the City of London to help preserve the forest and provide visitors with information and guided walks.

The charity is appealing for volunteers to extend opening hours at the Epping Forest Visitor Centre in Nursery Road, Loughton, which the charity has run since April 5 this year.

The charity is hoping to recruit volunteers for a guided walk and open day on December 7.
