Working in the Sun

Sunday, April 13th 2025

Last week team members from the environment agency visited Foxglove Covert LNR for a day of hard work in the sunshine.

The morning started out with some path maintenance on the easy access red route, stripping back moss and grass to reveal the gravel below. The paths are being returned to their original width and removal of vegetation will allow the wheels of pushchairs and wheelchairs to get better traction on the hard surface.

In the afternoon, the team moved some of the material coppiced over winter to the meadow, where we began creating a dead hedge along the back fenceline. This will help maintain the border between the reserve and the Catterick training area, as the exisiting fence is slowly rotting away.

Thanks to all the team members who came along and worked hard to improve the infrastructure on the reserve.
