From lone trees clinging to cliffs, through to large woodlands and visitor landmarks, Coastal Woodlands are a vital part of the Solway Coast landscape. How can they trigger imaginations in our next generation and be part of a summer of fun?
Join us as we deliver 10 unique quests in some of our region’s most special Coastal Woodlands. Each day consists of a morning session of 10-12noon, designed for Wee Kids (<8years), and then a 1-3pm session designed for Big Kids (>8years)

The Solway Coast & Marine Landscape Connections Project (SCAMP) is overseeing ten years of activity along the Solway Coast. One of the key habitats for SCAMP is ‘Coastal Woodlands’. This summer a series of free and fun events will give young people the confidence to explore and enjoy our coastal woodlands, introducing the role they can play in tackling some of the modern challenges we face. These events are delivered by Dumfries & Galloway Woodlands, with funding from the D&G Coastal Benefit Fund. All events are only possible thanks to the support from landowners and host partners across the region.
We also have funding to undertake further events beyond the above programme, details revealed soon.
