What is Thames Chase?
Thames Chase is a Community Forest
and is one of twelve Community Forests in England.
It is a partnership project with a long-term aim:
"To renew and regenerate
the landscape at the edge of East London and South
Essex by creating Thames Chase, the Community Forest:
a varied wooded landscape for local people to influence,
create, use, enjoy and cherish."
Its target is to increase
the woodland cover in the Thames Chase area to 30%
by 2030, from just 8% cover when Thames Chase was
established in 1990. This will require the planting
of 5.5million trees on some 2,000ha (5,000 acres)
of land.
The work of Thames Chase falls into six key areas,
within which are more
