New Project
Our Favourite Tree Project
A community celebration of trees, landscapes and stories across the Epping Forest District — culminating in a 160‑page hardcover book and public exhibition.
In partnership with EFDC Countrycare. Photographed & designed by John Price and Chloe Price. Edited by Tricia Moxey.
Celebrating Nature, Community & Creativity
First launched by Epping Forest District Council in 2006, 50 Favourite Trees returns with a new vision by ANVOB. We invite local people, artists and writers to share their favourite trees from public spaces across the district (excluding the Epping Forest itself).
- 🌿Open to all ages and backgrounds — submissions are free.
- 📍Trees must be visible from public space and accessible for others to visit.
- 🗓️Project runs until Summer 2026; featured entries will appear in the book and exhibition.
The Book — Our 50 Favourite Trees
A richly illustrated hardcover featuring photography, artwork, poetry and personal reflections. Each story explores how trees shape memory, place and biodiversity.
- 📸Photographed & designed by John Price & Chloe Price.
- 🖋️Edited by environmentalist Tricia Moxey.
- 🏞️Features local reserves, environmental notes and contributions from charities and groups.
