Look Out For Our Forest #LOFOF

The Look Out For Our Forest (LOFOF) project is a call to action against the growing litter problem in the New Forest.

We are asking residents, visitors and anyone who values the outstanding beauty of the New Forest to set a standard on litter. 

This means accepting responsibility for any item you purchase or bring with you, even after it has been used.  We want to make it easier for our residents and visitors to be litter responsible.

The project has 3 parts:

Roadside litter reduction

We are working to reduce litter in the district with a 'game' approach on the A35, one of the worst areas for litter through the New Forest for litter.

On the road between Lyndhurst and Hinton there are some signs and scoreboards, displaying the area's litter score.

The current A35 litter grade and score is:

94%, grade A+.

Coastal Crabby

This project asks visitors to our coast to be responsible with their litter.

There are litter bag dispensers on the trailers and outside the public toilets at Calshot, Milford and Barton.

These compostable bags are there for the public to use to store their litter and take it home with them.

Litter bag dispensers

At Barton on Sea, Milford and Calshot there are litter bag dispensers.

You can take a free bag and use it to take your litter home.

This project has already reduced the quantity of coastal litter by 19%.
