A date with nature in the New Forest
A date with nature in the New Forest 2011 has now finished. Please
watch this space for news on the project returning in 2012!
The project takes place between April and August in the New Forest
Reptile Centre near Lyndhurst. Using the latest hi-tech gadgets we look right
into the tree-top nests of the New Forest's wild birds of prey and watch their
every move - from eggs hatching to food arriving and chicks leaving. Staff are
on hand to answer all your questions about Forest life, and you can find out
how you can do your bit to help wildlife in the New Forest, and at home.
You can find out how the 2011 season went at the New Forest
Gateway website.
A date with nature in the New Forest is a partnership project
between the National Park Authority, the RSPB, the Forestry Commission and
Carnyx Wild.
