To deepen understanding of the

New Forest’s wildlife and habitats

through hands-on exploration

and independent ecological

research — and to use that knowledge

to actively protect what makes this landscape so special.

We exist to study the forest, to share what we learn, and to safeguard its future.

We deliver small-group wildlife experiences rooted in real fieldwork and active research.

Alongside our guided walks and wildlife sessions, we carry out independent ecological surveys, species monitoring and habitat recording across the New Forest. Our work focuses particularly on under-recorded, overlooked and vulnerable species.

As a Community Interest Company, we reinvest our income directly into ongoing research and practical conservation action.

We are naturalists in the field first — guiding is how we share what we discover.
