Wareham Forest

Wareham Forest is an area in Dorset, England, consisting of open heathland, including Decoy Heath and Gore Heath, and plantations of conifers such as Morden Heath and Bloxworth Heath. The site is overseen by the Forestry Commission for conservation and recreation. Situated next to the A35 road between Dorchester and Poole; the forest provides a home for Sika deer, the Dartford Warbler and a population of Sand Lizards.
==History==
Wareham Forest featured in the American magazine ''Life'' on 20 October 1947.
The article describes a fire that raged for four days across Wareham Heath in the summer of that year. The fire severed the road from Wareham to Bere Regis and exploded ammunition left behind from Second World War troop manoeuvres.〔
The photograph accompanying the ''Life'' piece shows fire-fighters trying to counteract the blaze, which saw flames leap to over 150 feet in height.〔
Thanks to these efforts, a majority of the forest was saved.〔
A 55 acre tourist park and campsite now makes up part of Wareham Forest.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Wareham Forest Tourist Park )
In 2012, a married couple walking their dog over the heath had to be rescued by the Dorset Fire and Rescue Service, after they became stuck in a freezing swamp.
