Update

Saturday, February 19th 2022

Foxglove is still closed! Although the weather has been awful this time we were lucky as storms Dennis and Eunice didn't hit the reserve too badly. There have been strong winds and heavy rain with snow at times but so far the trees have stood strong. However, with continuing gales and in order to keep everyone safe we have decided to remain shut to the public for now.

There is still a great deal of work necessary to clear away the debris caused by Arwen, Corrie and Malik! Up until Thursday volunteers helped by carrying out many varied tasks from cleaning bird feeders, clearing storm damage, analysing moth data and replacing boardwalk.

Nicola was even spotted using a drill to prepare wooden discs for a future wildlife craft activity!

Students from Mowbray School visited every day in the fortnight leading up to the bad weather and two groups from the Personnel Recovery Centre also came to lend a hand. Our sincere thanks to everybody who has contributed in some way over the past few difficult weeks.

We hope to re-open early next week and apologise for any inconvenience! If you intend to visit during half term please phone ahead to check that the reserve is open first.
