Will Parry-Norton

Young Commoner

‘The Forest is unique – the way the commoners common it, you have a unique amount of wildlife and unique biodiversity across the Forest. With my dad it is my job to protect the Forest and continue the legacy. You won’t find another place like the Forest in England and maybe in the world. It is completely unique to here and that is why it’s important to protect it.

‘People can help by giving animals a wide berth and keep safe – not just for your benefit but to keep the animals safe too.

‘People can also help by eating local, quality produce – it doesn’t have to be expensive but knowing where it comes from, knowing that it is from a good farming background, it really supports people which supports the Forest and makes it better for everyone.’
