NEW FOREST

Control of Population

SOME

And Amusements

E of the most drastic recommendations ever made to preserve the beauty of the countryside are con- tained in the report of a Committee of Planning Officers on the planning of the New Forest and its environs set up after a conference of the Forestry Commissioners last year.

Buildings, vehicles and road works, people, overhead wires and advertisements are the principal sources of danger that besét this beautiful stretch of forest, the prime requirement of which is quiet and freedom from disturbance.

The character and possibilities of every, village in the forest have been exutnined and the population figures

There should be no amusement park at Lymington, no dog-racing Track, or similar undertaking. Fun- parlours are of the same nature, but their effect would not be so great.

With regard to the control of camps an official of the Forestry Commission said: "As a matter of fact, it is quite all right for ordinary campers to pitch anywhere in the New Forest where it is open forest. Obviously campers cannot go into the enclosed parts.

"We are not affected," said an official of the Youth Hostels Associn- tion. The places we have in the New Forest area are old houses or stall forms.
