A HAMPSHIRE bus firm has got on board a campaign to get people using sustainable transport to and from the New Forest.

Bluestar has lent its support to the New Forest Trust's Love the Forest campaign.

The company, which operates routes to and from the New Forest, is backing the campaign, which will help raise funds to secure the future of the popular Hampshire holiday destination.

Love the Forest director Julie Mottisfont, said: “We are very grateful for the donations we are receiving from Bluestar and for all their support helping raise awareness of our work.

“It is so important that we tackle issues affecting the New Forest, such as protecting the unique landscape, the flora and fauna and the animals.”
