Parting Gifts

Tuesday, February 16th 2016

It was another cold and frosty start to the day, though most of yesterday’s snow had disappeared. The volunteers soon got warmed up cutting down some more of the straggly Hawthorns up in the woodland and dragging them towards the bonfire.

At lunchtime, everyone returned to the field centre for a fantastic spread in the classroom.

Sophie, our new chairperson of the Foxglove Management Group gave a short speech and vote of thanks to Matt and presented him with a bottle of Whisky.

Lisa then presented Matt with a card and a gift from the volunteers.

Thank you to everyone who came today either to help out or just to say their goodbyes, your thoughts and actions are much appreciated. And of course a big thank you to Matt, who has worked really hard to make Foxglove the special place it is. He will be much missed.

Foxglove Covert Local Nature Reserve is now OPEN

Monday 4th November 2024 |

The security gate and it's safety features are to be working, so we're reopening to the public.

However the intercom and remote gate opening system is currently non-functional. Entry and exit to the reserve will therefore take place via key fobs which will be issued to visitors when they sign in at the Cambrai Lines front entrance. These fobs can be used to open the gate when entering and exiting the reserve. They must be returned to the front entrance pass office upon exiting the reserve.

Please note access will be limited by the number of fobs available. You may therefore be turned away at the pass office if all fobs are in use at that time. Please only collect one fob per visiting group and ensure you enter and exit the reserve together.

Please check the FAQs for further information on entrance procedures.
