We’ve been trialling different signs in our car parks to remind people of their responsibility to clear up their dog’s mess. Please help us share this important message. 🙏 #CareForTheForest #NewForest #dogs #dog

Fun engagement about a serious issue: we've been out chatting to #NewForest dog walkers today about why picking up your pet's poo is so important for livestock & human health #bagandremove

Great example of a holly tree that has been shaped by #NewForest livestock. Holly is a vital part of their diet and the clear browse-line shows how far they can reach to nibble the leaves!

If you’re on your daily local bike ride please make sure you stick to waymarked cycle routes in the #NewForest. With emergency services under such intense pressure, please only cycle on routes you know & that are well within your ability level: forestryengland.uk/new-fores… #Cycling

75% of all Western European lowland bogs and valley mires are found in the New Forest - a living breathing ecosystem, supporting biodiverse communities, storing carbon, a vital part of the water cycle and contributing significantly to clean air and water. @NewForestNPA

Beautiful capture of one of the Exmoor ponies grazing our Drumburgh Moss reserve 🐴
Ponies are an excellent choice of grazer in conservation & rewilding contexts. They’re varied browsers, so graze a wide range of plants throughout the year without overgrazing & killing them. They’ll even eat gorse & bracken - at this time of year they’re loving gorse!

It has been confirmed this is now 4 ponies which were hit and killed. When travelling through the Forest you must slow down and expect animals to be in the road day and night #add3minutes #expecttheunexpected – at Lyndhurst, England
