Milford on Sea Wildlife Recording Group works primarily for local authorities, such as Milford on sea Parish Council, New Forest District Council and Hampshire County Council.

All work is undertaken in close association with these local authorities and with Natural England, the Forestry Commission and Hampshire Wildlife Trust, using the County Biodiversity Action Plans (BAP's) as their guiding influence for both habitat and species.

Work is undertaken that has a nature conservation or public amenity value, or, preferably both.
