New Forest harvest celebration

total project costs £8,740
SDF Grant £2,542 (29% of total)

This project, which took place in autumn 2009, was to hold a New Forest Harvest Celebration event with the aim of enabling adults and children living within the area to understand what is special and unique about the New Forest and to learn about what is produced there. Over 250 local school children took place in the one-day event where they each spent time learning about the ponies, pigs and cattle that run on the New Forest and trying their hand at besom broom making with a local coppicer, as well as learning about many other traditions and products of the New Forest area, such as honey and lavender.
