🌳🐷 It’s Pannage Time in the New Forest! 🐷🌳

One of the New Forest’s oldest traditions is underway!

During pannage season, pigs are turned out into the Forest to feast on fallen acorns, beech mast, chestnuts and other nuts. It’s a centuries-old practice that helps protect the ponies from the effects of eating too many acorns and is an important part of the New Forest’s unique heritage.

🍂 Keep an eye out for pigs foraging beneath the trees
🚗 Please take extra care when driving through the Forest
🐴 Give all Forest animals plenty of space
📸 And if you spot a pannage pig, enjoy the moment!

Pannage is a wonderful reminder that the New Forest is a living, working landscape. 🌿
