You will wander through young broadleaf trees while taking in views of the Warwickshire countryside.

Join us for a session making repairs to our boardwalk.
Public access is a key area of focus for the Heart of England Forest, we want members of the public to enjoy visiting the Forest, and ensure they have a pleasant visit. Morgrove Coppice features a boardwalk to allow the public to access and use the site even during wetter periods, this needs regular maintenance and care to ensure it is safe to use.
Please wear suitable outdoor footwear, such as walking boots or wellies. For sunny days we recommend suncream and a hat. Please also bring your own work gloves, we recommend builders gloves with a rubber palm. If you do not have your own gloves we are able to provide these. We will provide all the tools and equipment required for this activity.

Join Avery for a morning walk through Middle Spernal to find out what invertebrates we can find throughout the Forest. You will be taking a relaxing walk through a variety of areas both with public rights of way and with no public access including established woodland, grassland, new plantation, and ponds, seeking out any insects that use these habitats we create and protect. Discover a wide range of invertebrates, from the 24-spot ladybird, to the 6-spot burnet moth.
Children under 16 years must be accompanied by an adult. Due to the wildlife focus, this event is not suitable for dogs and places are limited.

Join us as we fight back against bracken encroaching across our woodland rides.
Coughton Park is a beautiful site, rich with varied habitat, including butterfly rich woodland rides. Some of these rides get overwhelmed by a thick carpet of bracken, which is reducing the valuable biodiversity within this habitat. Annually we cut and pull bracken in areas of the Forest to contain and control this species.
Please wear suitable outdoor footwear, such as walking boots or wellies. For sunny days we recommend suncream and a hat. Please also bring your own work gloves, we recommend builders gloves with a rubber palm. If you do not have your own gloves we are able to provide these.
