  • Event lasts 3 hours
  • Free venue parking

Join Freshwater Habitats Trust colleagues for an afternoon Guided walk at Kings Hat with Clive Chatters on August 28th, 2025 at 12:30 until roughly 15:30 PM. We will meet at Kings Hat Forestry England car park (W3W: modes.could.cube).

Clive Chatters, local conservationist and verderer, will lead the walk and share his fascinating insights about the local flora and fauna as we explore a variety of New Forest habitats.

This is a great opportunity for any early-careers conservationists to deepen your understanding of the New Forest habitats, rare species, and the challenges of managing this nationally important landscape.

The aim of this walk is to spark curiosity and conversation, so come along with your questions and your enthusiasm!

Accessibility Considerations

Please note that there are no toilet facilities available during this walk. Attendees must be comfortable with walking for 2 to 3 hours, we will stop throughout the walk to look at and discuss Forest features.

We will be walking across the New Forest, as such the ground may be uneven and wet or boggy in some areas, though we will avoid areas of deep bog and dense vegetation.

We recommend car sharing wherever possible. Public transport is limited for this walk, however we are running another walk from Ashurst train station on August 20th which is readily accessible via bus and train.

PLEASE NOTE: This event may be cancelled or rescheduled in the event of poor weather conditions.
