Foxglove Covert Local Nature Reserve's primary purpose is as a conservation area which is managed in such a way to retain and enhance its varied habiats.
With a strong emphasis on engagement and education, the reserve welcomes a range of local community groups and casual visitors.
A wildlife rich site, the reserve covers 100 acres of woodland, grassland and wetland.
The overall management of the Foxglove Covert Foundation is the responsibility of our Trustees. These are local people with an interest in making the charity a success.
There are also two Reserve Staff who are responsible for long term planning, the day-to-day management of the site, co-ordinating the volunteers, delivering events and acting as a guide for visitors. They are very often the first point of contact for people arriving on the reserve for the first time.
Meet the team who manage the reserve.
The reserve is temporarily closed with limited access due to a fault with the reserve access gate. Work is ongoing to create an alternative entrance which will reduce disruptions to access caused by the gate.
Some access for pre-arranged groups and events is going ahead.
