SOLD OUT New Forest Wildfire Site – Walk with a Ranger
Join a Forestry England Ranger to see the site of the devastating wildfire, and learn how the area can be restored.
This summer a section of the New Forest was devastated by a wildfire, which has had tragic impacts on the wildlife and the land itself. Join a Forestry England ranger for a walk to the fire site to learn more about the impacts of the fire, and what can be done to help restore the area back to its former glory. It’s not all doom and gloom, however! There will be plenty of fantastic flora and fauna to appreciate. Feel free to bring your binoculars!
Duration: The walk will cover just over four miles of woodland and open forest – allow three hours.
Cost: £5 for adults, under18s free. The proceeds from this walk will be donated to support the work taking place to restore the area.
Number of participants: Max 20 people.
Dogs: Well behaved dogs welcome but must be kept on leads. Please bring poo bags to pick up after your pet.
Meeting point: Bolderwood car park w3w: spout.insist.sprinter. Please note that parking charges apply in Forestry England car parks. Find out more: Parking in The New Forest | Forestry England
