Habitat Mound creation at City Stadium

In 2025, hundreds of people got stuck in with meadow creation at the City Stadium, as part of Wild Ouseburn. This involved removing turf, which was reshaped to create a more undulating landscape at the City Stadium. These mounds will provide a new topographical features, an in turn new habitat microclimates for wildlife.

Already they've been an incredible visual success for people walking through, so we’ve been given permission by the Newcastle City Council Parks team to create some more!

Join us on Saturday 7th February between 1pm and 3pm to design and create these new features. There's no need to book, just turn up on the day. If you'd like a reminder sent across a couple of days before, feel free to sign up for a free ticket!

WHAT TO BRING
