Welcome to the N.F.A.C.V.

The New Forest Area Conservation Volunteers (NFACV) was founded in 1983 by local people who wanted to do something positive to help conserve and enhance their surrounding countryside and its wildlife.

 

In 2027 it will be 44 years that the NFACV have provided an all year round practical conservation service in the New Forest area.

​

We are officially announcing that our group will permanently close on January 1st, 2027.

​

This decision has not been taken lightly.  We are extremely grateful to every volunteer, supporter, partner and member of the community who has contributed their time, skills and encouragement. Your support has made a lasting difference.

Anyone currently using our services or taking part in our activities will be contacted directly where necessary.

Although the group is closing, we remain proud of everything achieved together and of the connections formed along the way. Thank you for being part of our journey.

You can still view our current tasks until the end of the year

For questions about the closure, please contact Julie Thomas on 023 8066 6665
