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. Download our
INSET programme
for 2009/10.

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.

to help Gwent schools meet the outdoor learning elements of the new
Foundation Phase in Wales and to encourage young people's interest
in their natural environment.
