Greetings!
This month we're inviting you to connect with us in a wide variety of ways to get more involved with the National Park. Whether you're able to spare some time volunteering, would like to come along to one of our events or can join in a wildlife survey, we'd love to hear from you. If time is tight or you can't get out and about in the Forest, why not connect with us through Facebook or Twitter from the comfort of your desk or phone? Just search for 'New Forest National Park'. Best wishes, The New Forest National Park Authority team |
