Mires and bogs in the New Forest play a critical role.
Acting like sponges they hold much-needed water on the land, supporting wildlife and plants, and helping to prevent flooding for communities further downstream. @NaturalEngland@NFVerderers@ForestryEngland@RealNewForest
It's #WorldWetlandsDay on Sunday. Did you know that heathland soils can store as much or more carbon as woodlands? The New Forest has 75% of ALL the boggy and wet heathlands still remaining in North Western Europe. @NewForestNPA@NFVerderers@ForestryEngland 📹 @BigWaveTV
Most lowland heath has been lost in the past 200 years. It is one of the rarest and most valuable habitats on earth, maintained by grazing. We are so fortunate with the survival of the #NewForest - the best heathland in Western Europe #RealNewForest

Trailblazers have been recreating the tracks of a variety of New Forest wildlife in clay, to use as we work towards our Stage 2 Commoning Champion Badge.@Shared_Forest
The seepage mires on our New Forest commons contain an internationally important mix of specialist plants, including carnivorous Sundews. The droplets of 'dew' lure insects in for a drink, but it is in fact glue which sticks the insect & it is slowly absorbed by the plant.
