9 simple ways residents and visitors can care for the New Forest, with suggested classroom activities.

# data[].attributes.body
Watch the video (4 mins 09) then brainstorm with your class.

Activity ideas

- Put those words together to create poetry.

We have over 14 million day visitors a year, many from our local area and surrounding cities. Some love a walk, others cycle, kayak or watch birds, some prefer a cream tea. But do these activities help or harm?

Activity idea
- Throw a bean bag around the group, taking turns to speak. How many different visitor activities can you think of in 2 minutes? Cycling, picnic, paddling..... keep going.
- Make a list and try to separate these into activities that harm or help the forest. (hint: there may be no right answer, it all depends HOW visitors act, WHEN and WHERE.... so it's important to know what we are protecting)
