ANGUSalive’s Wildlife Detective Series Continues: Get Ready for More Discoveries!
ANGUSalive’s exciting Wildlife Detective Series is set to continue this summer.
These interactive and educational adventures will take place at Forfar Loch and Crombie Country Park, allowing participants to dive into the fascinating world of wildlife and discover the hidden treasures of nature.
The Wildlife Detective Series offers an opportunity for junior detectives, inquisitive individuals or fact-finding families to become detectives for the afternoon, unravelling the mysteries of the natural environment and discovering what lies in and around the park and ponds in Angus. From creepy crawlies to stunning dragonflies, these events promise to provide a unique and captivating experience for all attendees.
Mhairi Kimmet, Countryside Ranger for ANGUSalive and leading the project said: “We are very excited to continue with the Wildlife Detective Series. It’s an incredible chance for our visitors to explore the beauty of nature whilst learning about our local wildlife. These events are designed to ignite curiosity and foster a deep appreciation of the natural world around us and people will be truly amazed at the variety of wildlife waiting to be discovered within the parks.
The first event, “Wildlife Woodland Detectives,” will take place on Friday July 28th from 1:30 PM to 3:30 PM at Forfar Loch. Led by ANGUSalive’s own detective on the trail, participants will venture into the enchanting Millennium Woodland and surrounds to explore and discover even the tiniest of creatures living there. Attendees will also hunt out a variety of plants and discover the benefits they offer our native wildlife.
Next up on Sunday August 6 August we will be having “Wildlife Dragonfly Detectives” at Crombie Country Park. From 1:30 PM to 3:30 PM, where participants will embark on a journey to Peddieston Pond, where they will delve into the captivating world of dragonflies and damselflies. You’ll learn how to recognise them in a line up and discover what hiding within the secretive waters of the pond and flying above.
Finally, the last day in your calendar to mark is Saturday September 9th as ANGUSalive presents the “Wildlife Dinner Detectives” at Forfar Loch from 1:30 PM to 3:30 PM.
