PONDHEAD CONSERVATION TRUST

We are a conservation charity set up to restore 76 hectares of woodland which form part of the Crown lands of the New Forest, known as Pondhead Inclosure near Lyndhurst, Hampshire. We operate under a 10 year license from the Forestry Commission and our aim is to improve the area's biodiversity and public enjoyment by management of the woodland with a team of conservation volunteers.
