Tyneside is home to an incredible variety of wildlife, from the tiniest plants to a range of beautiful birds. In a new series of friendly trips, we'll work together to find and record as many species as possible in Tyneside's urban nature corridors.

No experience or expert skills are needed and everyone is welcome, whether you're simply looking for a relaxing walk or to help with wildlife recording. Exploring pavements, churchyards, verges and walls, you may be surprised at just how much wildlife is out there waiting to be discovered.
