About the project
Local voices, shared through an annual magazine
Life Force combines environmental learning with creative and accessible activities across the Epping Forest district. The project works with local groups, schools and community partners through sensory walks, art, photography, music, exhibitions and practical climate action.
Each magazine is both a celebration and a permanent record of that work. We aim to publish a new issue every year and share it at our annual Climate Art Show.
