Fire and Feather

Join Ranger Toni and Pauline on Friday the 10th July at 1pm to make your own ink from natural materials.

For this quest we will make our own natural ink over the fire using materials found in the woodland. Then, from the bird hide, we will observe local birds and use our handmade inks and pigments to sketch what we see. This fun, hands on session blends art, nature, and discovery encouraging curiosity, creativity, and a deeper connection to the wild world around us.

This is session is for children aged 8-12 years old. Children can be left unaccompanied, but parents and guardians are more than welcome to stay and play too! Children will be supervised by two Forest School Leaders who are PVG checked. Please note: If your child requires additional support or has behavioural needs, we kindly ask that a parent or carer accompanies them during the session, as we are unable to provide 1:1 support.

These events are led by Dumfries & Galloway Woodlands with funding from the D&G Coastal Benefit Fund.
