We would also like to thank our partner businesses and their customers who have raised hundreds of thousands of pounds over the years to ensure the spectacular New Forest is not just protected but improved.’ PERFECT FOR NEW FOREST LOVERS: This stunning New Forest edition of Hasbro’s classic board game Monopoly is perfect for 2–6 players and makes a great gift for players aged 8 and up Left to right): Launching the New Forest visitor welcome film are Aynsley Clinton, NFNPA; Richard Burke, Forestry England; Alison Wilson, Go New Forest; Jaqui and Eloise Oldfield, Red Shoot Camping Park, Linwood; Hilary Harper, Love the Forest treasurer. 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.’And in their place? A pony (replacing the Scottie dog), walking boots (rather than the plain boot) and several others which the public will decide on. The visitor welcome film, led by the New Forest National Park Authority with Forestry England and Go New Forest, the official Destination Management Organisation for the New Forest, encourages visitors and locals to help look after the landscape, buy local and get around car-free. Everyone was really excited to get involved, and with the limited squares it was really important that we capture what makes the New Forest and we found that everyone wanted to be part of the edition.”

Ms Gibbs added: "We would like to thank each and every person who sent in nominations. We feel that charities getting to feature on all of the game’s three Community Chest spaces is a great fit, bearing in mind the community aspect of these unique Monopoly spaces." Carol Seymour, business manager of Go New Forest, said: "We're absolutely thrilled at the news that we're having our very own Monopoly game as well as coming first in Winning Moves’ search for the UK’s top area of outstanding beauty.
