Interactive Tyne Model and Bird Walk

First, learn about the Tyne: The Tyne River's Trust model of the Tyne catchment was created so that we can bring the River Tyne 'with us' to show how the river system reacts to changes in the climate. Climate change is bringing more extreme weather resulting in flooding and droughts but there are things we can do to help. Let us show you the main tributaries of the Tyne with flowing water, areas of 'rain' and changeable sections and learn how we can slow the flow of water through better land management practices and natural flood management. Discover how practices implemented upstream have an effect downstream and can help our precious rivers adapt to a changing climate and benefit both wildlife and us too!
Then, join a bird walk: Michael Turner is a local ornithologist with an eye and an ear for all sorts of birds, from the tiny (wrens and goldcrests) to the huge (red kites and herons). Join him for a bird walk along the Tyne, and learn how to spot them yourself.

This is a paid for event and will cost up to £12 per person. See our tiered pricing guide for details. Booking details for this event coming soon.
