Work has begun to restore nature to part of the New Forest in southern England that was destroyed by a summer wildfire.

The New Forest, a national park known for its ancient woodlands and heathland, suffered significant damage during the blaze.

Restoration work will focus on re-establishing the area's natural habitats and helping the ecosystem recover.

The project follows the summer wildfire that highlighted the region's vulnerability to extreme heat.
