WWT Caerlaverock

WWT Caerlaverock is one of nine reserves of the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust in the United Kingdom (founded by Sir Peter Scott).

It covers an 1400 acre site at Eastpark Farm, to the north of the Solway Firth and to the south of Dumfries. It is a wild nature reserve with a network of screened approaches and several observation towers. There is a visitor centre and farmhouse accommodation.

Almost the entire Svalbard population of Barnacle Goose (ca. 24,000) overwinters at Caerlaverock.

In January 2002, a new education centre was officially opened by King Harald V of Norway.
