A new network of footpaths has been opened near Castle Douglas.
The work forms part of the 100-year long Threave Landscape Restoration project at the area’s nature reserve.
In the last 18 months, a complete change in management approach on the site has taken place, with the reconnection to natural processes and systems to create a self-balancing and self-sustaining mosaic of habitats that can be used to illustrate, educate and inform long-term climate adaptation discussions.
