Come and join the Countryside Rangers for a pond dipping workshop at Den of Maidencraig Local Nature Reserve.

Ponds and wetlands are incredibly biodiverse habitats. These miniature ecosystems are full of drama and wonder as many insects and amphibians begin their lives beneath the water surface. But it doesn't end there as the skies above ponds are patrolled by fast and agile aerial predators, such as damsel and dragonflies.

Join the Countryside Rangers for a morning of pond dipping at Den of Maidencraig and discover what lurks in the depths of the moor.

We will provide the necessary equipment but please bring wear sturdy, waterproof footwear and remember to dress appropriately for the weather too.
