NEW FOREST

Our vision of the New Forest is a unique naturally beautiful yet living and changing place in which strong elements of tranquillity and wilderness are maintained despite the increasing pressures from the demands of local population, recreation and infrastructure. It is a vision of countryside and coast free from pollution, with a minimum of intrusion; an ancient unenclosed landscape set in a wider matrix of diverse, unspoiled countryside including historic settlements and character villages, with long-term ecological and cultural ties to the Forest... For 150 years we have been dedicated to ensuring the long-term protection of the special qualities of the Forest, including its flora, fauna, fungi and cultural heritage... The views presented are the author's and not necessarily those of Campaign for National Parks. We are committed to encouraging an open debate about key issues affecting the National Parks.
