Discover critters on the coast

July 22, 2010 - PRLog -- Leanne Atkinson, Coastal Ranger at the New Forest National Park Authority, said: ‘There is something on offer for everyone. If you like rolling up your trousers and going for a paddle to look for little critters like limpets and mussels then rock pooling is definitely for you. However, if your prefer staying on dry land why not try bird-watching or speaking with our mobile ranger.’
