Serving up a treat to guests at the launch was New Forest Ice Cream, which also features on the game board with a specialist ice cream game token. Hilary Harper, Love the Forest trustee, said: ‘We fund vital conservation projects such as removing invasive plants from choking our rivers and helping to protect New Forest ponies. Our education projects are equally important so it’s vital to work closely with the tourism industry to share the film and gain more business supporters.’ We can see from everyone here today that it has ended up being a lovely launch, everyone in loves being from the New Forest and everyone has loved the launch. He said: “I have very fond memories of Monopoly as it was the first game my father introduced me to.Richard Burke, District Recreation Manager, Forestry England, said: ‘The New Forest is one of the UK’s most important landscapes for conservation and wildlife. It’s also a special place for people to connect to nature. We want people to enjoy their time in the Forest, deepening their understanding of why it’s so special and providing practical ways they can help to care for it.’
