One of the council's initiatives is the Community Tree Strategy. They fight to protect the existing landscape, the countryside and trees, to encourage new and appropriate planting for the future. Trees are very important the Loughton and there is a great deal of public attachment to individual trees and groups of trees; people rightly want to protect and enhance the town's open spaces and treescape. There are two well-wooded local nature reserves within the town, Home Mead and Roding Valley Meadows.
