REWILDING THE NEW FOREST?
Linden Hall, Lyndhurst Community Centre
ALL WELCOME – £5

What does ‘rewilding’ mean? Is it much more than just beavers, lynx, cranes and red squirrels? How are the New Forest Pine Martens doing as newcomers? Has it any place in a landscape maintained by free-roaming livestock?
Then time for questions and discussion with panel including .
Debbie Tann: Chief Executive, Hampshire & Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust
Diana Westerhoff: Verderer appointed by Natural England and New Forest conservationist
Come along and join in the discussion.
