Greetings!

There are lots of opportunities this month to get out and about and discover more about the spectacular New Forest.
One of the highlights of the year in the National Park is the New Forest Show, which takes place this week. Not only is it a great day out, it's a chance for visitors to find out more about the work of the National Park Authority and its partners, as well as helping visitors to have some fun. Do visit the National Park stand if you are coming to the Show and say hello.

Best wishes,
The New Forest National Park Authority team

Visitors to the New Forest this summer are urged to help keep the beauty spot clean and tidy.

 

While litter is a real eyesore in the open forest, towns and villages, it is also harmful to the ponies, small mammals and birds. Find out what the National Park Authority and its partners are doing about the issue.
