Interactive Tyne Model Evening

More about the model: The Tyne Rivers Trust miniature model of the Tyne catchment has proved a success in demonstrating how the river system reacts to changes in climate, thanks to funding from the Reece Foundation.

The model is interactive with water flowing in the rivers and interchangeable parts to show how we can slow the flow of water using better land management practices and natural flood management. The interchangeable sections include leaky dams, straightened vs meandering river, woodland, riparian tree planting and restored peatland, which all help the river to adapt to a changing climate. This event is an opportunity to see the model, to hear a little about the Tyne Derwent Way, and to network with others interested in the health of our rivers.
