The New Forest National Park is a fragile place, where thriving communities live next to rare habitats. So we work to encourage sustainable living through education, conservation, the use of green technologies, building in environmentally friendly ways, and the production of local food and goods. Find out how we’ve supported sustainable projects through grants and continue to encourage people to travel car-free.
The New Forest has a unique history; from royal hunting ground to Napoleonic ship building, salt making to World War Two airfields. The jewels in the National Park’s heritage crown are more than 200 scheduled monuments and 600 listed buildings. Use this section to find out about some of our work to record, protect and share this information with people of all ages and interests, as well as how we protect the area’s heritage through the planning system.

The New Forest has a long and proud history of commoning: the system whereby even today certain people have the right to release animals onto the open forest and collect firewood. It has given the forest its mosaic of grazed habitats and influences many aspects of the local communities. The New Forest remains one of the few extensive lowland commons where common rights are still widely practised and a strong commoning culture continues. This section details how we work with partner organisations to enable commoning to thrive alongside rising neighbouring populations, a vibrant and important economy, increased traffic, and higher land and house prices.
We are restoring lost habitats, developing Forest skills and inspiring a new generation to champion and care for the New Forest. The five year scheme involves 21 projects and is being led by the New Forest National Park Authority with 10 key partners - contact us.
