Commoners urged to have their say on New Forest’s future

Commoners are being urged to lend their views to help shape a future funding and management scheme for the New Forest.

An open meeting was held earlier this month to discuss the various agri-environment schemes in the New Forest and gauge opinions on future schemes.

The consultation, which is being led by New Park Consultancy, is an opportunity for commoners to contribute to the ongoing study.

A wide range of opinions are being sought to ensure the wishes and needs of commoners can be accurately represented in creating a scheme of funding and management for the New Forest.

Anyone who owns or rents property within the New Forest with rights of common attached can partake.

The deadline for completing the questionnaire, which takes around 15-20 minutes, is Monday, 30th September.
