The New Forest Association are pleased that the Forestry Commission are implementing a "Look, Don't Pick" rule regarding fungi foraging on the New Forest Site of Special Scientific Interest under their stewardship. This affirms the protection our habitat deserves. This is consistent with their obligations to the protections of the SSSI, their management of the New Forest SSSI as a National Nature Reserve and their powers to authorise or deny picking of fungi under consent from Natural England. This brings the FC policy in line with the ban on fungi foraging on the Commons the National Trust, and the Nature Reserves the Wildlife Trust manage within the Forest. We hope that enforcement may be hard hitting on pickers taking undue advantage of the forest whether commercial or not. Enforcement may also be soft and educational for casual foragers. The message is the same, this is a protected habitat and landscape, leave the fungi to nature and the autumn display for all to see.
