Foxglove Covert Festival of Nature

Tuesday, June 2nd 2015

Come and enjoy the fun at the Foxglove Covert Festival of Nature, taking place on the weekend of 18th and 19th July 2015.

Why not join us for a guided walk to learn more about the flora and fauna at Foxglove. Local naturalists will be on hand to introduce you to the flowers, butterflies, dragonflies, ferns, birds and fungi around the reserve. Try your hand at identifying some of the moths caught over the weekend, or come along for the evening bat walk.

Over the weekend there will also be green woodcraft workers demosntrating their skills at wood turning and chair making, and childrens activities, including owl pellet disecting. The weekend will be rounded off with a BBQ.

Save the date for your diaries!
