Wild Ouseburn Exhibition Opening

Join us in celebrating the first anniversary of Wild Ouseburn!

Over the past year, the Wild Ouseburn project has explored and documented the diverse wildlife thriving in the Lower Ouseburn Valley. More than 100 people have recorded their sightings, from Otters and Hedgehogs to Ladybirds and Kestrels, creating an understanding of the area’s natural wonders.

A wealth of wildlife data has unveiled new, abundant, and threatened species, along with the seasonal and daily patterns of the wildlife in the Lower Ouseburn Valley. This expansive knowledge provides a powerful platform for understanding the area’s ecology, empowering future efforts to protect and rewild these spaces for generations to come.

Discover the captivating stories, vibrant community, and invaluable data that have emerged from the first year of the Wild Ouseburn project at the exhibition opening. An inspiring evening to envision the inspiring future of this truly wild urban landscape.

We’ll have some fizz + nibbles to celebrate too!
