New Forest learning resources

Can you help us spread the word about how wonderful the New Forest wetlands are?

The New Forest is world famous for its wetland wildlife. From source to sea, the ponds and bogs, rivers, streams, mudflats and saltmarshes are all extremely special for plants and animals alike. The wetland landscape is bursting with rare, freshwater plants and animals, like sundews and southern damselflies.

The amazing mosaic of freshwater habitats supports more than two thirds of all the UKs freshwater species and more than a third of the UK’s rarest plants and invertebrates. The grazing livestock and clean unpolluted water, make the New Forest is one of the most Important Freshwater Landscapes and coastal areas in the UK.
