Who we are?
Wild New Forest Guided Tours is a community interest company (CIC) dedicated to preserving and enhancing the natural beauty of The New Forest National Park. As a not for profit company within the New Forest, our mission is to support the preservation and sustainability of this unique natural environment.
About our tours
We offer boat tours, and a variety of off-the-beaten-path guided wildlife walks across the New Forest; no two adventures are alike. While taking a leisurely stroll we talk about everything New Forest, from history, management to myths and wildlife.
While exploring the wonders of nature in various locations within the Forest, this provides a deeper understanding and appreciation for the environment around us. Also offering a unique opportunity to learn about different nature subjects while immersing oneself in the beauty and tranquillity of the forest.
Our work
As of right now, we are conducting research into the distribution and genetic diversity of Pine Marten as well as the ecology of specialist woodland birds like the Hawfinch.
Our research methods range from GPS tracking to traditional field monitoring, all aimed at understanding how these species interact with modern forestry techniques. Additionally, the New Forest's coastal habitats are home to rare seabird species, making it a crucial area for conservation efforts.
For the benefit of the future generation of wildlife enthusiasts, we host a wildlife club called Wildlife Explorers. We are able to provide the programs at no cost because of the kind funding support from Love the Forest and NFDC. Additionally, in collaboration with the Cameron Bespolka Trust, we host a few free wildlife camps that host 20 teenagers for a fun-filled weekend of learning about wildlife. Activities include moth and camera trapping, bird ringing, and talks by well-known conservationists about their journeys to their current positions.
If you would like to immerse yourself in the wild side of the New Forest we would love to welcome you to join one of our many upcoming events, full details can be found on our website:
