Join the North East Rangers for this celebration of aquatic life at Castle Fraser! This is a public event aimed at children aged 5-11 that will run from 10am-3pm, with dragonfly arts and crafts on offer for donations to the National Trust for Scotland. We will look for our rare Northern Damselfly and other colourful insects flying close to the banks of the Flight Pond.
Book ahead to join us on one of our pond-dipping sessions to see what creatures we can find in the water, including the larvae (young) of the dragonflies and damselflies. Crafts and pond dipping will take place at the Flight Pond at Castle Fraser which is a 15 minute walk from the car park.
Additionally, there an educational self-led trail taking you around the beautiful Castle Fraser, Garden, and Estate. Maps will be available in the Castle Gift Shop during week leading up to the main event and for the duration of Dragons and Damsels Day for a £1 donation to our charity.
