Nearly 40 rare species have been recorded in the New Forest during a project to restore areas for nature.

The species were identified during surveys undertaken by Wild New Forest last year as part of the Species Survival Fund, which is restoring and creating habitats to halt species decline.

The surveys were completed at 10 sites, mostly around the northern and southern fringes of the New Forest National Park.

‘In total, about 860 species were recorded during the surveys, including 370 animals, 265 plants, and 225 fungi,’ explained Prof Russell Wynn, Director of Wild New Forest.
