During this heatwave, please remember BBQs, fires, or any naked flames are prohibited from the Sandlings Forests.

If you see a wildfire:

🔥Dial 999 and give an exact location.
🔥Stay safe and wait for the fire and rescue service.
🔥Show them where the fire is.
🔥Call the police immediately if you see anyone starting fires deliberately.

Keep yourselves and the nation's forests safe in the sun 🌡️

Did you know that it can take up to 48 hours for the ashes from a disposable barbecue to cool down completely?

One careless action could impact the environment for decades to come.

Leave your BBQs at home, skip the campfire, and make sure ci******es are disposed of properly. If you spot a wildfire, call 999 right away ⚠️

The Gorse in the Sandlings Forests is at its peak in May, with its vibrant yellow flowers and filling the air with the smell of coconut.
