Foxholes Covert is a woodland area located in Staffordshire, England. Covering an area of approximately 20 hectares, it is a significant part of the local landscape and is maintained and managed by the Staffordshire Wildlife Trust.

The woodland is primarily composed of native trees such as oak, birch, and beech, which create a dense canopy providing shelter and habitat for a wide range of flora and fauna. The forest floor is covered in a rich carpet of wildflowers and mosses, adding to the overall biodiversity of the area.

Foxholes Covert is home to a variety of wildlife, including mammals such as foxes, badgers, and deer, as well as a diverse range of bird species. Birdwatchers frequent the woodland to spot species such as woodpeckers, thrushes, and owls, which nest and feed within the trees.

The forest also boasts several walking trails, allowing visitors to explore the area and immerse themselves in the natural beauty of the woodland. These trails wind through the trees, offering glimpses of picturesque scenes and allowing for peaceful and relaxing walks. The woodland is a popular spot for nature enthusiasts, photographers, and families looking for a tranquil outdoor experience.

Foxholes Covert is not only a beautiful natural space but also plays an important role in the local ecosystem, providing a habitat for wildlife and contributing to the overall biodiversity of Staffordshire.
