Winter Work

Thursday, March 6th 2025

This Sunday at Foxglove Covert LNR saw the final winter worky day of the 2024/25 winter season completed.

The day began with clearing scrub on the wetlands. Gorse is beginning to take over some areas of the wetlands. Removal efforts were focused on a pond in front of the wetland hide which had become particularly overrun with gorse.

The afternoon was spent ring barking in the conifer plantation. Quick progress has been made on the ring barking project this winter.

Thanks to everyone who has attended a worky day this winter. Winter worky days will resume in November 2025. For now, work at Foxglove Covert will move away from woodland and scrub management. As we look towards spring, with trees exiting dormancy and animals beginning to nest, work will begin to focus more on the maintenance of infrastructure around the reserve.
