Greetings!

Welcome to the May newsletter from the New Forest National Park. This month it's all about the amazing animals and wildlife we have in the New Forest and how you can discover more about them and help look after them.

Find out about the dangers to foals, the rare species we found in a 24-hour wildlife bonanza, and news from a nestcam.

Until next month,

The New Forest National Park Authority team

Help protect New Forest foals

There are many new foals in the New Forest at this time of year but sadly some are killed on the roads.

Find out more about our campaign with partners throughout the Forest to reduce animal accidents.

Rare species found in wildlife dash

Experts were joined by hundreds of members of the public and enthusiasts in locations across the Forest in a 'bioblitz' to record as much wildlife as possible in 24 hours to mark the International Year of Biodiversity.

Take a look at all the action and what wildlife we found on our Bioblitz blog.

Walking back to happiness

New research shows that exercising in the countryside for just five minutes can boost your mental health, and the New Forest National Park Authority has the tools to help you do it.

News from the nest

Check out our live 'nestcam' in the New Forest where we're following a pair of nesting Goshawks.

The 'Date with Nature' project is a joint initiative between the National Park, the RSPB, Forestry Commission, and Carnyx Wild.
