North East
Discover the varied environment of the North East
Help us explore the environmental quality and biodiversity along the Tyne Corridor and Durham coastline.
There are many areas of outstanding natural beauty - known as AONBs - in the North East region, but there are also a number of urban sites with a legacy of industrial contamination.
We want to help people of all ages to appreciate the local environment and wildlife of the region in the context of its cultural heritage.
Get involved
Join in a range of activities that are open to everyone, including educational programmes and art projects at Moorbank Botanic Gardens and other key sites.
See our event listings below and for more information on everything we're up to visit our dedicated website.
