This was a two year project between the Forestry Commission, the New Forest National Park Authority and ExxonMobil to encourage the Waterside community to access and use the New Forest in a positive way.

The Community Ranger ran an extensive programme of varied activities with different sectors of the community, focusing particularly on young people to tackle issues of anti-social behaviour on the forest.
