The New Forest Tour

The #NewForest is a stronghold for the tiny and nationally rare nail fungus. This is a good time of year to see it - on pony dung! The natural diet of the free roaming livestock provides perfect conditions for the fungus. We found these at Dur Hill in Burley

Tales of hauntings at Kingley Vale will come as no surprise to those who know it. But are the ghosts marauding Viking warriors, left to rot until the trees grew over their bodies, or do the gnarled trees take human form by moonlight? 📷 Chris Doyle #SpookySouthSouthDowns

Our #NationalParks such as the #NewForest contribute to the mental and physical health of the nation 💚 On this #WorldMentalHealthDay discover the work of Dr James Alden on the health benefits of our green spaces 🌳 🐴 👉 bit.ly/3PK1oXJ

It was a very atmospheric early morning patrol in the Ober Heath area today... first time this year when it has really felt anything like being autumnal, with sporadic noisy cascades of leaves & nuts falling from the canopy & sounding like rain...

Forests care for us, together we care for forests 🌲 Even trees call on each other for help through underground support networks when things get hard. If you need a helping branch today, or any day, call Samaritans on 116123 or browse mind.org.uk 💚

Fallow deer (Dama dama) are easy to tell apart from other species by their antlers. These are shaped a little like the palm of a hand and have a series of small points called ‘spellers’. 📷 Nick Whittle #WildlifeWednesday #NewForest #deer #FallowDeer #DamaDama

#NationalFarmersDay is the perfect opportunity to show some appreciation to the farmers who work to provide food for those in the communities around them 🚜🥔🪵🐮🌾 Visit our archive library to discover the farming history in the #NewForest,
