Ouse Burn Way: City Tree Trail

Thursday 15 October 2026
10.00am to 12.30pm
Natural History Society of Northumbria
South Jesmond

Join NHSN Senior Naturalist, James Common, for a friendly, informal walk exploring the fascinating trees that thrive in Newcastle’s urban spaces.

During this session, we’ll take a closer look at the trees of the City Stadium and Lower Ouseburn Valley, including both native species and exotic varieties introduced for their beauty and interest.

From exotic laurels, curious hollies and a few pesky poplars, there will be plenty to discover and enjoy.

This will be a relaxed, exploratory walk. Please wear weather-appropriate clothing and sturdy footwear. You may also wish to bring snacks or a warm drink in a flask.
