forest_from_ape(phy)

ape_from_forest(tree)

`phy`	A tree in ape's "phylo" class.
`tree`	A tree from forest

These functions are lossy: converting from ape to forest and back may not preserve edge index numbers, though it will preseve names (and topology, etc). Converting from forest to ape will lose all data associated with the tree (that is, the data field associated with each node), and only the labels give a route to re-associating. Both these may change in future.
