Sketching the Magic of the Merse

Dumfries and Galloway Council Environment Team & SCAMP

Saltmarshes (or merse) is a very popular habitat for Geese as they return for the winter.

This unique environment provides a home and rich sources of food for many other breeds of birds, including lapwing, redshank and skylark. The grasses, mudflats are bursting with life in the grasses, the mud, and the water.

Sketching is a brilliant way to explore merse. While sketching we are still and observing the magic of merse, what is happening on, in and around the merse on a landscape scale and while focusing on the microscopic detail.

So, join us for a few hours out on the merse, no experience of art required, and we will teach you how to look at merse slightly differently.
