Help Us Achieve A Litter Free New Forest

Caring for the New Forest – Now and for the Future

Look Out For Our Forest inspires residents, businesses, and visitors to care for the New Forest by reducing litter, encouraging responsible behaviour, protecting its unique landscapes and wildlife, and promoting a shared commitment to sustainability, climate action, and respect for our home, now and for future generations.

You can help by doing one simple thing: take your litter home or bin it properly.
It really does make a difference.

What is Crabby?

The Coastal Crabby Project is a bold, behaviourally informed initiative within the Look Out for Our Forest campaign – bringing our successful anti‑littering approach to the coastline. Since launching in 2021, it’s placed free litter‑bag dispensers at busy beach sites like Barton‑on‑Sea, Milford‑on‑Sea, and Calshot, showing visitors how simple actions can make a big difference.
