Promoting safer driving on New Forest roads

In a bid to help reduce the amount of animal deaths on New Forest roads, the Commoners Defence Association (CDA) are relaunching the Shared Forest Business Group.

The premise is simple, we would like companies in and around the area to promote animal awareness and safe driving across the New Forest , and to educate people in what to do if they are unlucky enough to be involved in, or witness an accident.

What do you have to do?

We have six things that we ask members to do.

• Include a ‘Safe driving on Forest roads’ element to all induction courses. This includes the commute into work, as well as driving a company vehicle

• Give out and display the ‘Advice for New Forest drivers’ leaflet to all staff members and on websites for visitors to see

• Give out emergency hotline cards to all staff and display them to customers where possible

• Allow extra time to drivers who use unfenced roads across the Forest, including on their commute

• Invite staff and customers to display ‘I go slow for ponies’ car stickers in their personal vehicles

• Share our seasonal updates that will be sent to you via email

What are the benefits?

By joining the group your name will be added to our website, so the public knows which companies promote safer driving, and hopefully, opt for you when choosing a business/service.

The knowledge that you and your staff are doing as much as you can to protect the livestock and wildlife in the very special landscape that is the New Forest.

A reduction in accidents and damage to vehicles.

Any additional support you need can be provided where we are able to.

Best of all, it is free to join.
