FAMILIES across the area are being invited to step into the world of local wildlife with a free outdoor workshop at Knockshinnoch Lagoons later this month.
Taking place on on Saturday, February 28, the session will run from 9.30am to 12.30pm, and is led by the Galloway and Southern Ayrshire Biosphere.
It will offers a hands‑on introduction to animal tracking and nature exploration.
Participants will venture into the wet woodlands to search for animals and the signs they leave behind, learning how to identify tracks, follow wildlife trails, and recognise natural clues such as feathers, paw prints, and run markings.
The session also includes the chance to create a plaster cast of real animal prints, giving families a memorable keepsake from the day.
Designed for all ages, the workshop encourages curiosity, outdoor learning, and a deeper appreciation of the area’s natural habitats.
Although free to attend, booking is required via Eventbrite.
