New Forest lands new help service

Land Advice Service team with farmers Mike and Martin Dolbear

Landowners can gain help with everything from grants to practical tasks thanks to a pioneering new service.

The Land Advice Service is a joint partnership with the National Park, Natural England and the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust helping landowners to care for their land and benefit the environment. Find out more.

A window through the web to Buckler's Hard

If you would rather be outside enjoying the New Forest than at your desk, we now have the next best thing.

We've launched our second webcam - this time with the Buckler's Hard Visitor Attraction, looking over the calm, idyllic waters of Beaulieu River. Why not take a look?

Calling all Time Team enthusiasts!

Digging, diving and data-recording opportunities are on offer to volunteers who would like to take part in our Coastal Heritage Project.

Volunteers with an interest in the outdoors, archaeology or local history are invited to join a season of fieldwork both above and below the waterline. Find out more.

Bringing the coast to the classroom

Community groups and schools can learn about the coastline of the New Forest National Park free of charge from Coastal Ranger Leanne Atkinson.

Find out more about our free talks service.

Rare birds laying low

Celebrate the wonder and life of the National Park's special and rare ground-nesting birds in our exhibition at the New Forest Centre, Lyndhurst.

Models, illustrations, photographs, sound recordings and poetry combine to portray birds such as the mysterious nightjar, haunting curlew and sprightly Dartford warbler. Plan your visit today.
