"The People's Forest"

When Queen Victoria visited Chingford on 6 May 1882 she declared "It gives me the greatest satisfaction to dedicate this beautiful forest to the use and enjoyment of my people for all time" and it thus became "The People's Forest". The City of London Corporation 

still manages Epping Forest in strict conformity with the Epping Forest Act. This care is funded from 'City's Cash'*, the private funds of the Corporation rather than any money for its upkeep coming from local rates or taxes.

• Illegal mushroom picking. Press reports suggest that this is an increasing concern within the Forest, which has possibly been influenced by an increased national interest in high quality culinary pursuits.^[9][10][11] Mushroom pickers often have to pick mushrooms or cause damage to those in situ in order to establish whether they are edible or not, which causes significant damage to the Forest. The later part of 2013 yielded a bumper crop^[12] and Forest Keepers could be confronted by large crowds at certain sites, whom were causing large scale damage to the forest.
