What the charity does

Our vision is that the New Forest Trust should become a focus for private and public support both locally and for the millions of people who visit the area. We aim to raise significant sums of money to fund projects designed to secure the future of the New Forest. Our efforts will complement and build on the many established organisations already working toward this goal.
