Foxglove Covert Local Nature Reserve's primary purpose is as a conservation area which is managed in such a way to retain and enhance its varied habiats.
With a strong emphasis on engagement and education, the reserve welcomes a range of local community groups and casual visitors.
A wildlife rich site, the reserve covers 100 acres of woodland, grassland and wetland.
The overall management of the Foxglove Covert Foundation is the responsibility of our Trustees. These are local people with an interest in making the charity a success.
There are also two Reserve Staff who are responsible for long term planning, the day-to-day management of the site, co-ordinating the volunteers, delivering events and acting as a guide for visitors. They are very often the first point of contact for people arriving on the reserve for the first time.

The Field Centre will be closed from December 22nd 2025 - January 3rd 2026.
The reserve remains open except for Chistmas Day, Boxing Day and New Years Day.
