Restoration work has begun at the site of a devastating wildfire in a national park.

More than 1 sq km (247 acres) of the New Forest was destroyed after a fire spread from a blazing van on 9 August.

The fire caused damage to rare heathland and an ancient woodland, as well as burning through a surface layer of peat in some of the boggy areas, reducing their ability to store carbon.
