Emergency Procedure

If you need to report an emergency to us such as injured or escaped livestock or damaged infrastructure please follow this procedure:

  1. Call the office on 01256 381190.
  2. If no one answers, wait for the answering message which will detail the name and mobile number of the member of staff who is currently on call.
  3. Phone the on-call member of staff who will then respond accordingly.

NOTES:

  • Please do not phone a member of staff directly unless you know they are on-call.

  • If you are unsure if a particular situation qualifies as an emergency then please phone the on-call member of staff anyway so that they can make the decision on how to proceed.

  • Most importantly of all – please do not report injuries or sick animals via the blog alone – always call the emergency on-call contact.


    Thank you!

    4 New Forest Ponies added today

    We have recently been given consent by the MoD to introduce pony grazing to Hawley Common. So we have put on 4 New Forest ponies today, with the 8 Sussex cattle.

    Mixed grazing, of cattle and ponies, will help improve the structural diverity and mosaic of vegetation as they graze differently. The ponies will graze gorse during the winter more than cattle, which will be a big help as the high amounts of gorse in some areas of the site are beginning to be of concern.

    We have run a trial pony grazing scheme with MoD consent on Long Valley Brocks Hill for a year and this has been very successful.

    Many thanks
