This is where YOU come in \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat we’ll be doing\n\nWhile it would be pretty exciting to see Bison and Boar roaming around City Stadium\, we’ll instead be taking on the role of these lost herbivores and replicating the natural relationship which has evolved between them and our ecosystems. \n\n\n\nWe’ll be focussing on managing understorey species like Bramble and Hawthorn – to do this we’ll be using tools such as shears to “nibble” or “browse” in a naturalistic way. You might be surprised just how easy (and fun!) it is to get into the mind of a nibbling Bison\, a stomping Auroch or a rootling Boar. \n\n\n\nInstead of managing our greenspaces in a human-centred way\, if we understand how our ecosystems function\, we can also boost urban greenspaces for biodiversity. \n\n\n\nWe call this Urban Rewilding – by replicating lost natural processes\, we can help our urban landscapes reach their maximum potential for wildlife – and have a lush day out in nature! \n\n\n\nWe’re pleased to be undertaking this approach in partnership with the Newcastle Parks & Allotments Team and the Ouseburn Trust’s Saturday volunteer sessions. \n\n\n\nLOCATION FOR WILD OUSEBURN SESSION \n\nMeet at 9.50am by the brightly coloured shipping container behind The Ship Inn\, Stepney Bank\, Ouseburn\, Newcastle-upon-Tyne\, NE1 2PW. \n\n\n\nThe What3Words for the meeting location is: brick.repair.frogs \n\n\n\nFrom there we’ll walk to the City Stadium. \n\n\n\nDATE + TIME \n\nSaturday 25th October. \n\nThe session runs from 10am to 12pm. Please meet at the shipping container around 10 minutes before the start time. \n\n\n\nHOW TO TAKE PART \n\nJust turn up on the day! You don’t need any prior experience\, and everyone is welcome. \n\n\n\nWHAT TO BRING \n\nAll equipment and gloves will be provided.Please wear suitable\, sturdy walking shoes/ boots (AKA ‘hooves’) as we might venture we off footpaths. Be sure to wear suitable clothing\, we will be going ahead rain or shine! We’d recommend bringing a drink and some snacks.In the case of a severe weather warning the session may be cancelled\, in which case we’ll update this event page. \n\n\n\nPart of a collection of Large Herbivore events across Newcastle + Gateshead.

From bats and birds\, to butterflies and bees\, the City Stadium meadows will provide new areas for wildlife to live and feed\, as well as a spectacular display of life and colour for us all to enjoy. \n\n\n\nBe part of this transformation\, and join us on Sunday 26th October to help us spread the wildflower seeds. Ouseburn Folk Choir will be serenading our seed spreading\, and there will be a chance to take a packet of wildflower seeds home too! \n\n\n\nThe City Stadium wildflower meadows have been created as part of Wild Ouseburn\, to rewild the Lower Ouseburn Valley. Hundreds of people have generously volunteered their time in the creation of the meadows. \n\n\n\nThe work is in partnership with the Newcastle Parks & Allotments team\, and has received funding support through the Reece Foundation’s Ouse Burn Way Fund and Newcastle Nature Networks. \n\n\n\nSunday 26th October 2025 | 11am – 1pm \n\n\n\nEveryone is welcome!

We’ll be planting scrub and spring bulbs to help make the park more biodiverse. \n\n\n\nScrub\, and its edges\, are one of the most important habitats for wildlife. Young thorny trees and brambles begin the process of change from a grassland to woodland. In areas of scrub\, you can find a whole range of different habitats (known as ‘mosaics’) with grassland\, young thorny trees\, and woodland all being present at different stages and times. These dynamic habitats means that they become incredibly valuable place for wildlife\, providing different niches for a large number of species. \n\n\n\nIn the urban landscape\, especially our parks\, scrub is often one of the first habitats to be lost\, or prevented from growing. In Wild Ouseburn we’re also seeing loss of scrub through development pressures. Through our bird territory mapping surveys\, we have identified opportunities to plant new scrub in the City Stadium to support breeding birds\, but also a wide range of other species. The scrub planting will complement this year’s wildflower meadow creation to create a more biodiverse landscape\, and reinstate some of the scrub lost to a neighbouring development.  \n\n\n\nWe’ll be planting thorny and understory tree species including; Hazel\, Blackthorn\, Crab Apple\, Elder\, Dog Rose and Rowan which have been provided by Woodland Trust as part of their Community Tree Packs. Alongside this\, we’ll also be planting spring bulbs in the shadier woodland edges which have been provided by Newcastle City Council\, to help support early emerging pollinators. \n\n\n\nEveryone is welcome to take part\, you don’t need any experience – we’ll show you what to do – and we’ll have gloves and some spades available to use. If you’ve got a spare spade please bring it along with you! \n\n\n\nMeet by the original City Stadium Meadow ///poet.rice.brief \n\n\n\nThe City Stadium rewilding is part of Wild Ouseburn\, in partnership with Newcastle City Council\, and has been funded though the Reece Foundation’s Ouse Burn Way Fund. \n\n\n\nSaturday 22nd November marks the start of National Tree Week\, this year celebrates its 50th year!

Tuning in all the way from Northern Spain\, Luke and Katie will join us to host a virtual talk\, with the chance for a discussion and Q&A at the end. Although the talk is virtual\, we will gather together in the Ouseburn Farm event space to enjoy a festive night full of wild inspiration\, mince pies and drinks. \n\n\n\nPart of the Ouseburn Wild Talks series\, hosted in collaboration with Ouseburn Farm\, as part of the Wild Ouseburn project. This year’s talk series is supported by the the Reece Foundation’s Ouse Burn Way fund. \n\n\n\nABOUT THE TALK + SPEAKER\n\n\n\nWhen wildlife photographer Luke Massey and his partner\, writer Katie Stacey\, first discovered a derelict dairy farm in the mountains of northern Spain\, they had no idea it would become the centre of a long-term rewilding project – and the place where they would build a home and raise their two sons. \n\n\n\nNow seven years into the Wild Finca journey\, Luke shares how they have transformed an abandoned\, overgrazed landscape into a thriving mosaic of meadows\, woodlands and wetlands. He recounts encounters with wolves\, bears and countless other species\, alongside the daily\, grounded work of restoring soil\, water and habitat while raising a young family in the heart of a rewilding landscape. \n\n\n\nFrom boosting biodiversity and creating new habitats\, to turning a once-exhausted farm into an oasis for wildlife and documenting rare species through camera traps\, Luke offers an honest\, hopeful look at what becomes possible when you choose to live with – rather than against – the wild. \n\n\n\nFor those who’d like to dive deeper into the story behind Wild Finca – the land\, the wildlife\, and the family shaping their lives around it – Katie’s book No Paradise With Wolves is now available wherever you get your books. Recently named one of BBC Wildlife’s Best Books of 2025\, it makes the perfect stocking filler for any nature lover. \n\n\n\nThis virtual talk and discussion will be hosted (only) in the Ouseburn Farm event space\, join us for an inspiring pre-Christmas evening! \n\n\n\nABOUT THE EVENT & VENUE\n\n\n\nTICKETS: \n\n\n\nWild Ouseburn Talks are a welcoming place for everyone to come and discover all things wild.

This unique opportunity will immerse you in the fascinating ecology and intrigue of beavers in the beautiful Northumberland countryside. \n\n\n\nYou’ll witness and learn about a range of captivating beaver activities\, such as sculpture-like gnawed tree stumps\, masterfully dug channels and impressive dams. These complex\, ever-changing beaver features make this wetland one of the most exciting habitats to explore. With more water held back in the landscape\, thriving freshwater life – from wetland birds and fish\, to unexpected surprises like insects feeding on sugar-rich sap – offers different encounters on every safari. \n\n\n\nWhile the nocturnal beavers themselves are highly unlikely to be seen on Beaver Enclosure Safaris\, the magic lies in seeing and understanding their incredible ecosystem engineering. Our Dusk Beaver Safaris will return in early Summer 2026 to watch the beavers and experience the tranquility of their wetland habitat – find out more here. \n\n\n\nOur Beaver Enclosure Safaris at NT Wallington are among the most exciting wildlife experiences in the Wild Intrigue collection\, as you witness the profound impact this keystone species has on the surrounding plants\, animals\, and even the behaviour of water itself. \n\n\n\nBeavers continuously upgrade their wetland habitats\, quickly adapting to changes in water flow\, food availability\, and family dynamics. This means each Beaver Enclosure Safari will be truly unique\, with flexible itineraries to accommodate the busy beavers and abundant other wildlife. \n\n\n\nWild Intrigue have previously undertaken community engagement for a number of beaver restoration projects in northern England and Scotland. We are thrilled to now to share our expertise and insights from Britain and Europe in our home county of Northumberland\, in partnership with National Trust Wallington. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPLEASE NOTE\n\n\n\n– The beaver enclosure features rugged\, uneven terrain\, including some hilly areas that guests must navigate. The walking safari moves at a leisurely pace\, allowing guests to fully experience the diverse wetland environment. If you have any questions about accessibility within the enclosure\, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. \n\n\n\n– The Beaver Enclosure is not located in the main NT Wallington visitor hub\, as detailed on the map. It is approximately a 10 minute drive north. The exact meeting point with directions will be shared upon booking. \n\n\n\n– Pre-booking is essential. Beaver Enclosure Safaris are only suitable for ages 16+. \n\n\n\n– Dogs are not permitted on this experience. \n\n\n\n– Ticket holders can enjoy complimentary same-day access to the National Trust Wallington estate! \n\n\n\nFor more information please visit the main Mini-Exped page. \n\n\n\nThe reintroduction of beavers at Wallington forms a vital part of the National Trust’s ambition for Wilder Wallington\, to restore native species and natural ecosystem functions across the vast 5321ha estate.
