This beautiful New Forest scene could become a thing of the past because of 'people pressure'. According to the 2011 census figures, south Hampshire is the UK’s sixth biggest built up area, with a population only marginally less than Greater Liverpool. By 2036 New Forest District will have built an additional 10,500 homes, further increasing the daily recreational stress on the landscape and adding significantly to a potentially unprecedented impact on the ecological makeup of the New Forest.

Friends of the New Forest (The New Forest Association) are calling for urgent action to protect the unique character and environmental importance of the New Forest after local fire fighters, police, rangers and commoners reported repeated incidents of anti-conservational behaviour by visitors.
There is not a limitless capacity to absorb all the recreational and amenity interests within the New Forest and to avoid ‘recreation stress’ a complete and fundamental review of the impact and management of visitors to the New Forest is necessary.
