About Us (continued)

We Believe That

• The problems facing the New Forest today are as challenging and complex as they have ever been.
• The ever increasing pressures of development, urbanisation and the demands of recreation continue to degrade the wilderness quality of the New Forest landscape, its unique ecological value and cultural heritage.
• It is therefore vital that there is a well supported and independent watchdog to monitor and influence those statutory bodies whose actions and decisions affect the welfare of the New Forest.
