Dusty’s Wildlife Rangers
Sat 30 June – Sun 2 September 2018

Here’s your chance to become a fearless Wildlife Ranger like Dusty Duck. There are loads of exciting challenges waiting for you this summer, including pond exploring, animal tracking and mini-raft building. Or why not try your hand at map reading, fire building and foraging?
A great place to start is The Yurt where you’ll find our new Ranger Camp. Identify and collect natural materials to make a natural remedy. Then set off into the new Paddock Wild Walk and see how many bugs you can spot.
Grab your free log book and start your expedition at WWT Caerlaverock Wetland Centre. It’s a wild day out for the whole family!
