It’s Yasmin again – the Learning Team Intern at Foxburrow. As winter arrives, the reserve is looking absolutely beautiful!
November was another very busy month, with visits to several Wilder Schools. It has been great to see what these schools have planned to develop their grounds and create space for wildlife. During my most recent visit, children were creating posters and leaflets to raise money and materials for their projects, including hedgehog houses, bird boxes and wild flower beds.
This month I joined the tree platforms and ladders training. This was the first in a series of accredited skills training courses at Foxburrow. We spent the morning assembling a new platform in Crag Pitt Wood and the afternoon creating ladders, using both rope and silver birch. It has been great to see the platform being used and loved by many different groups.
