It\u2019s also known as furze (pronounced fuzz). Some commoners remember collecting the furze, and chopping it in a chaff cutter with mangles to make a feed for their animals.<\/p>\n

The New Forest gorse is home to lizards and other wildlife, including a very rare bird called the Dartford Warbler.
