Badgers just loooove earthworms. They seem to be delicious in this part of my garden at night. Forgive Mr. Badger for his poor table manners, the Missus is much more mannerly đ![]()

The Friends of the New Forest have just launched a new initiative called New Forest Byelaw Watch. The aim is to raise awareness of the various byelaws and guidelines relating to recreational and commercial activities in the New Forest National Park (including the New Forest Code pictured below), and to encourage forest users to record damaging activities so that priorities for future action can be identified. Further details are available at the link below, including the simple recording form that can be completed online or downloaded for later use. The recording period will initially run until 31 Oct 2021.![]()

Many of our members have expressed concern about a wide variety of damaging activities in the New Forest in recent months, and we therefore encourage everyone to support this new initiative by submitting records - these will all contribute to an independent evidence base that will be used to inform and influence the various management bodies. We are particularly interested in records (and images) of damage, whether that be to forest habitats, species, and/or tranquility.![]()

The Government needs to act on these, not squander well thought through ways to support and improve our National Parks.Today marks two years since the publication of Julian Gloverâs Landscapes Review. In this critical year for landscapes, people and nature, we are still waiting for the Governmentâs response. ![]()

âCampaign for National Parks submitted our response way back in 2018 â which seems like a lifetime ago now. In that time, we have seen the impact of inaction. Our existing National Parks are doing what they can under the circumstances, but implementing the Glover proposals would make a big difference, helping enable protected landscapes to play a leading role in the green recovery.![]()

"The Review opened a crucial conversation about the future of our National Parks, but our Parks need more than warm words â they need action.â ![]()
