My aim is to find out why different strategies are used to manage tourism in Epping forest. The purpose of this coursework is to find out about the impact which visitors have had on Epping Forest, and how the impact is being managed and reduced.

• The amount of soil erosion will decrease with distance from the main footpath
• Plant height and diversity will be greater the further away from the main footpath
• The management strategies are effective in managing visitor numbers and tourist’s impacts .
