Saturday 21st October
10am-3pm
Caerlaverock Wildfowl and Wetlands Centre
with Jackie Galley
Poetry in the Wilds Writing Workshop
Modern Science and Old Stories
The acclaimed Poetry in the Woods series steps into new territory this Poetry in the Wilds workshop with ecologist and poet Jackie Galley. Caerlaverock attracts skeins of geese and swans to spend their winter in our region. Along with their wildlife heritage they have a rich cultural heritage in the folklore that explained their arrival in autumn and their return migration in spring. We will look at the modern science and old stories associated with these birds and develop our own interpretations.
Please bring a packed lunch, warm clothing and stout footwear.
Booking through Dumfries and Galloway Arts Association on 01387 253383 or andrew@dgaa.net. Cost £3.
