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.

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.

You can download a wide range of teaching materials covering all aspects of our Magor Marsh Reserve.  These include many worksheets and information resources.

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.

Schools Wildlife Partnership

This is an outdoor learning initiative developed and delivered by Gwent Wildlife Trust in consultation with local schools and LEAs.  It has been created 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.

Partnership membership includes 10 hours of teaching, consultation and professional development for pupils and teachers.
