We began in May 2001. After Foot and Mouth was over, most restrictions were lifted. But dogs were still required to be kept on leads across the New Forest. A group got together to restore the 'privilege' to walk freely. In return we'd promote responsible walking and dog welfare with partners. The New Forest Dog Owners Group was born, and those remain our core principles today

Has an email register that gives members exclusive access to hundreds of fellow dog owners who will look out for lost dogs

Successfully negotiated a code of conduct enshrining our traditional freedoms that were threatened
