“This week I completed 113 classifications on Wildwatch Burrowing Owl. I found this quite interesting because I had never heard of this kind of owl before.”

Support
With the encouragement and practical support of the staff at the Perth and Kinross Association, get inspired by our collection of Activity Modules, designed to help guide you through your Duke of Edinburgh Sections with exercises, activities and fun ideas to complete your Skill, Physical and Volunteering Sections and prepare for your Expedition.
The Distance Learning Hub is accessible to all. However, some of our courses and modules require specific resources. Anyone who enrolls with the PK Dofe Association will be provided with those resources for free. To enroll or ask any questions please click the “Get Support” button above.
We constantly try to improve our modules on the Distance Learning Hub to provide you with the best learning experience possible. If you have a couple of minutes, we would really appreciate some feedback on this module!
