It only takes one spark to start a wildfire. These new rules will help us ensure more people understand why it’s just not worth taking that risk. Please enjoy the Forest but always bring a picnic instead of a BBQ.” Patrick Heneghan, Deputy Chair of the New Forest National Park Authority, said: “The New Forest National Park is a world capital for wildlife, with many rare species and habitats. This unique landscape is created with the help of grazing by commoners’ animals who play a vital role in creating and maintaining the habitat that allows other species to flourish. It’s important to recognise that they are not tame animals and can unexpectedly bite and kick. It’s logical that we must take steps to ensure the precious landscape and wildlife is protected, as well as keeping people safe. Joint patrols by the partners will focus on engagement and education, and we’re sure that the majority of people will continue to respect the New Forest Code.” Jonathan Gerrelli from the Verderers of the New Forest, said: “A number of people have been badly injured by ponies which have been fed and become demanding. It is unfair on the animals which have to be removed permanently from their home if they injure someone and it is distressing for members of the public, including children, who may be kicked or bitten. The ponies and donkeys are not domesticated, and they should be treated as wild animals, not pets.” More information on the Public Space Protection Orders can be found online at: www.newforest.gov. uk/PSPO Know Before You Go this Summer – New Rules Come into Force in the New Forest Continued from page 4 BEAULIEU 4 RIVERS CRUISE Join e Mission to Seafarers and help to support their work caring for seafarers around the world, on a ve hour ‘Beaulieu 4 Rivers’ excursion from Southampton aboard the M/V ‘Ocean Scene’ (Blue Funnel Cruises).
