Magor Marsh Reserve
Over the last three years the
Magor Marsh Centre has hosted over
6000 children on educational visits. The numbers continue to grow.
We also run a series of INSET courses
for teachers and support staff. These courses are designed to
increase confidence in using the outdoors for enhancing the
curriculum and improving school grounds for wildlife.

Wildlife Warriors Youth Group
This is a fun-packed programme of activities
for our 11-16 year old supporters. Run by Tom Rugg, a qualified teacher, you
can learn bush craft and survival skills, see bird ringing up close, go
badger watching and learn a great deal about practical conservation. The
course runs on Tuesday evenings from 6.30pm to 8.30pm at our Magor Marsh
Nature Reserve (with field trips to other sites in Gwent). The first session
is on Tuesday 29th March and continues during term time until October 18th
2011. See some photos of the group.
Places on this very popular course cost £8 per half term for members,
£10 per half term for non-members. With very limited places, if you would
like to attend, please contact Kathy Barclay at Magor Marsh on magormarsh@gwentwildlife.org
or 01633 889048.
Forest Schools
Centre staff are now fully trained Level 3
Forest Schools leaders and can host Forest Schools activities in the Forest
School areas at Magor Marsh. In addition to schools events, community
groups (e.g. Guides, Scouts, W.I.) are welcome to visit for a guided tour or
wildlife activity evening.

Environmental Resource Centre, Ebbw Vale
The Environmental Resource Centre is the first building to be completed as part of the
redevelopment of the former steelworks site in Ebbw Vale. The centre
is located on an ecologically rich site next to the Pumphouse
cooling ponds, which have become a haven for wildlife since the
closure of the steelworks.
As a result, there is already a wealth of wildlife
for visitors to discover, such as newts, dragonflies and
damselflies, orchids and a resident moorhen (quite elusive). GWT
will be running workshops for schools and other learning providers,
as well as an annual programme of events, courses and seminars on a
range of subjects and issues relating to wildlife and the
environment.
