Discovering your peatlands

Galloway Glens

A walking workshop at Knowetop Lochs with experts and artists!

New Galloway

Discover the beauty and science in your local peatlands with a walking workshop at Knowetop Lochs . Knowetop is a Scottish Wildlife Trust reserve that contains areas of peatland. The local event will be led by experts from the Crichton Carbon Centre and environmental artist Kerry Morrison as well as sound artist Helmet Lemke. This will be a fantastic combination of science, environment and the creative response to peat. “Walking in a peat landscape is an experience that can tantalise our senses. Through looking, listening, touching, smelling, and tasting, we can gain an understanding about peat that extends beyond the scientific. When we combine the scientific with the felt and experienced, our capacity to connect to a landscape and begin to understand it is greatly deepened.Sound artist Helmut Lemke and Environment artist Kerry Morrison will walk with us over the peatland, focusing in on how our senses make sense of the peat beneath our feet and the life it supports.” Low-level walking, make your own way there. Over 15s only, no unsupervised children.Detailed joining instructions will be given after successful booking.FREE event but do book early as places are limited due to COVID restrictions.For further details e-mail j.murdoch@carboncentre.orgM: 07770278643
