Moffat and District Wildlife Club was formed in 1961 by a group of local enthusiasts. Since then the club has gone from strength to strength and membership is steadily increasing.

The club runs Dyke Farm Nature Reserve, on the outskirts of Moffat, where you can find a prodigious variety of wildlife and is well worth a visit. A number of nesting boxes are also maintained in various other locations around the district.

A club Newsletter is published periodically. This contains full details of all club activities, recent sightings of interest and articles about wildlife. The Newsletter is obtainable from Grieves, Newsagents, High Street, Moffat, for the modest price of £1.00.


Membership for the year is £10 per individual (£18 for two adults at the same address), free for those under 16 years of age, and is open to all, not just "locals".

Members meet monthly in Moffat Town Hall during the winter season (September to April inclusive), normally on the second Friday of the month at 7.30pm, to enjoy guest speakers presenting wildlife slide or film shows. Visitors and non-members are always welcome at the meetings, entrance fee £2.50 payable at the door (under 16's free). We try to be completely informal, catering for beginners and experts alike. During the interval tea/coffee is available and there is plenty opportunity to talk with friends and guests.

A selection of nestboxes, feeders and bird food is always available for purchase at the meetings and can also be obtained from A.M.Grieves, Newsagents, on the High Street.
