The United Kingdom 65 
lands together contain in area upwards 
of 14,000 acres, which consist either of 
woodland, or mixed heath and wood- 
land, or pasture in the park. 
The New Forest, Hampshire, has 
an extent of about 92,365 acres, of 
which some 30,000 acres are private 
property, and the remainder is a State 
Forest Reserve proper. The existence 
of certain rights of pasturage has pre- 
vented the enclosure of the New Forest, 
except to a limited extent. The State 
Forest Reserve consists approximately 
of 40,000 acres of open heath and pas- 
ture without timber, 5,000 acres of heath 
and pasture with timber, 11,250 acres 
of enclosed woodland and 6,400 acres 
of unenclosed woodland. The Forest 
contains primeval woods, moor, heaths, 
and small peat mosses. There are 
some streams but no lakes : some small 
ponds are however left where the peat 
has been removed.
