Greetings!
Summer might soon be coming to an end but that doesn't mean there are fewer things to do in the New Forest National Park.
There is still time to take the New Forest Tour, which has now been extended to Sunday 14 October. It's the perfect excuse to explore the New Forest leaving your car at home.
Learn more about our two new exciting pilot projects; looking at the health of New Forest's rivers, streams and coastline and creating community wildlife plans.
Also in this edition, read more about our successful New Forest Marque winners and who won prizes at this year's Hampshire Food and Drink Awards.
Best wishes,
The New Forest National Park Authority team
