New Forest Transition

The formation of New Forest Transition Hub was inspired by at least two factors. First was the publication of the Transition Handbook in March 2008. Second, the fact that its content seemed, in many ways, to tie in with many local initiatives that were already in place across the New Forest Area.

The Forest was voted the 'most responsible tourist destination in the world' in 2007. Whether or not this is a scientifically proven fact it is a testimony to the enormous amount of activity that has been taking place here to provide a holiday destination with as light a footprint as possible. Included within this is an increasing emphasis on local food, sustainably produced. It's a positive example of how the New Forest District Council and local businesses are working cooperatively for environmental benefit.
