About this Event

Urban Nature Trail
Wed 22 Jul, Wed 29 Jul, Wed 5 Aug, Fri 14 Aug, Thu 20 August | Multiple times
Booking essential
All ages

We’ll be exploring the Gateshead and Newcastle Quayside from Baltic with naturalists from NHSN, who bring our attention to the nature hiding in plain sight – from the tiniest of plants growing in the cracks of the pavement, to the surprising habitats revealed in low tide, the wild bees so small you might miss them and the ladybirds tucked away in city planters. Find out what our local space has to offer for nature. Hear about the history of the plants around us - point out what you want to know more about and our expert friends will give you some insight into what you find along the way.
Open to all ages.
