I may be wrong but I had always thought that the Epping Forest acts transferred ownership to the corporation of London. A friend of mine Jerry Wisenfeld was the first "superintendent" from a conservation background.

Just looked it up, You are right the crown doesnt own it. I thought it was royal hunt forest with commoners rights. I also thought hampsted heath had rights of common grazing. These things were true once. There isn't much of anyone rights left. I would like to see the corporation of london parks bylaws tested in court. I would gleefully stand charged the henious offences of collecting nettles , making chairs and daring to graze my duck on what was common land. I am not saying there should be a free for all, but the harmless and sustainable collection and use of natural materials should not be a crime.

Tragedy of the Commons.
With no local communities with shared values left you have to resort to legislation and enforcement or risk losing the resource.

Dont forget
the Nice people of the ramblers Club got a bill pushed through for more access which happened but it also prevents Foraging ( and pretty much everything else except rambling) on the land it covers
teh CROW act 2000 if it applies it trumps the CWA 1981 which does give right to forage for personnel use.
CROW 2000 doant apply to woodland or beach tho ( well not yet ) so parts of the New forest that are heath land have it otehr parts that are wooded dont
