FUNGI CODE FOR THE NEW FOREST

There has been an increasing trend for foraging in recent years and this puts additional pressures on areas such as the New Forest. Due to the growing concern from conservation bodies and very real fears from members of the local community, the Forestry Commission is no longer permitting picking on any scale from the SSSI.
In previous years, a ban on commercial collection and a personal collection limit have been in place. For the first time, the Forestry Commission feels it necessary to take a precautionary approach and, with the support of partners aims to spread the message about just what a special place the New Forest is.

This autumn we appeal to people to look, but don’t pick.

Commercial harvesting is not permitted and foray leaders must obtain a licence.

Visit the Forestry Commission website for further information.
