The 10th annual Dumfries and Galloway Wild
Spring Festival is hoping to find the next Chris Packham or Sir David
Attenborough.
More than 100 events will be held between 29
March and 31 May, including shark conservation, badger watching and horseback
treasure hunts.
Last year, the area was designated a Unesco
World Network of Biosphere Reserve.
It is one of 598 Unesco reserves worldwide,
with only three in the UK.
For the first time, the festival will offer
a dedicated series of activities during weekends in May in conjunction with the
local tourist board.
Wilma Finlay, chair of Destination Dumfries
and Galloway, said: "We would like to challenge more young naturalists to
set their alarm clock and take part in one of the Wild Spring Festival's many
unique and surprising festival adventures that will get them up close to the
wide array of animals, mammals, birds, fish and fauna.
"From sharks, frogs and fishtails to
badgers, red kites, barnacle geese and buzzards and from red deer, reptiles and
red squirrels to bats, moths and bugs - there is a huge array of wildlife for
them to discover throughout Dumfries and Galloway.
