Education is at the heart of Foxglove Covert Local Nature Reserve. Whether working with local primary schools, taking on work experience students, or facilitating higher education research, opportunities to explore and enjoy nature are many and varied. Formal education classes and organised groups visit frequently to benefit from learning outside of the classroom.
It is essential to book in advance. Consider the activities available and plan your visit beforehand.
The wide variety of habitats at Foxglove Covert provide an ideal opportunity for people of all ages to discover the natural world.
Younger visitors enjoy pond-dipping and mini-beast hunting, while older students can undertake work experience placements, with a view to further study or becoming an environmental professional.
