Rewilding Futures: Shaping Tomorrow's Wild

From its iconic industrial heritage, Newcastle-upon-Tyne’s Lower Ouseburn Valley has developed a dynamic and rich parallel history of urban nature in the heart of the city. Today, Ouseburn is a vibrant cultural landscape, framed by the architecture of its past, layered with a diverse range of dynamic habitats where inner-city Kestrels soar, Kingfishers complement colourful art and the famous Ouseburn Mute Swans raise their families. The Wild Ouseburn project explores, documents and celebrates the species present within the valley, to help inform future management of Ouseburn’s wild spaces, and provide an inspiring platform for our local community to engage with the urban wilds that surround us. Join Wild Intrigue CIC Co-Director, Cain Scrimgeour, to hear about the successes, challenges and wildlife discovered in the first year of the project.
