Over 50 local retailers have agreed to ban disposable BBQs, and over 400 New Forest Ambassadors have been recruited with parish councils to help support the Forest.
Key aspects of an action plan include:
Greater numbers of staff will be deployed for patrol duties with focus on key locations and visitor hotspots.
A joint visitor campaign is being rolled out with the area’s official tourism body, Go New Forest and its membership of tourism providers. This will provide key information for visitors to be aware of both before and during their visit, and how they can help care for the Forest.
THE NEW FOREST CODE
Core to the campaign will be The New Forest Code – a clear set of actions and guidance on how to care for the Forest. These include parking only in official car parks, keeping a distance from Forest animals, and no wildfires or wild camping.
