The New Forest National Park is blessed with a huge range of local people and businesses that produce high quality local produce. Get the authentic New Forest experience by buying locally wherever you can when you visit and looking out for the New Forest Marque on products. The New Forest National Park Authority is proud to support the New Forest Marque which helps promote businesses involved in the production, processing and distribution of local produce – businesses for whom the New Forest is at the heart of their product. By shopping locally and buying New Forest Marque goods from our small-scale producers who are closely linked with the landscape you can help nature and also reduce your carbon footprint. Your support helps ensure the New Forest National Park remains a special place into the future. Our collective actions are influencing the future of the New Forest, including its nature, wildlife, infrastructure, communities and working Forest. Since the New Forest National Park was established in 2005, it’s been recognised that the climate crisis is the most significant long-term threat to this extraordinary landscape. By acting together now and buying local produce, we can make a positive difference to the local area and to the planet.

We want visitors to the New Forest National Park to enjoy and benefit from its beautiful landscapes and wildlife, and they bring a much-valued contribution to the local economy. It’s great when people understand the Forest well enough to ensure they don’t inadvertently cause problems for local people and their animals or perhaps disturb rare nesting birds. Follow the links to learn how you can help care for the Forest next time you visit.
