Without you, the wildlife, unique landscape and community of the New Forest is in danger of disappearing. The New Forest is a very special place, we are determined to keep it that way.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Our relationship with the New Forest National Park Authority<\/h2>\n<p>We engage the National Park Authority to do certain activities on our behalf.<\/p>\n<p>As an organisation which is larger and better resourced than the New Forest Trust they can deliver services on our behalf more efficiently, ensuring that we spend more of the money we raise on projects.<\/p>\n<p>The New Forest National Park Authority run the Love the Forest scheme and Love the Forest grant scheme on behalf of the Trust, they receive a fee but also provide additional salary costs, office space and overheads, free of charge.<\/p>\n<h2>Commoners\u2019 housing<\/h2>\n<p>The New Forest Trust believes that one of the main threats to the future of the New Forest is the lack of affordable housing available to young commoners from which to continue the practise of commoning and in particular the depasture of stock onto the open forest.<\/p>\n<p>It is acknowledged that the stock that graze the open areas of the New Forest are its true architects and vital to the maintenance of its conservation and ecological value. To maintain suitable levels of stock on the open forest it is crucial that we maintain the community of people who own and look after the stock. In other words, the commoners who have rights of pasture over the Crown lands of the New Forest and its adjacent commons.<\/p>\n<p>The New Forest is officially Britain\u2019s \u201cleast affordable\u201d National Park, with 99% of suitable commoners small holdings coming on to the market ending up as amenity land and as such losing their value to the long term wellbeing of the open areas of the New Forest.<br \/>\nThe ambition of New Forest Trust is to build up a stock of small holdings around the Forest which would be made available at a sustainable rent to, initially, young commoners giving them a secure base from which to develop their commoning and family activities.<\/p>\n<p>For more information please <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newforesttrust.org.uk\/contact\">contact us<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Reporting<\/h2>\n<p>The New Forest Trust is a charitable company limited by guarantee.
