Celebrating the River North Tyne

Our Native North Tyne project celebrates what’s interesting and unique about the River North Tyne and the River Rede which sit at the top of the Tyne catchment. It helps people get out and discover the local landscape, as well as the unique and endangered species that are only found in this part of our river.

Native North Tyne is made possible by the The National Lottery Heritage Fund. Thanks to National Lottery players, we are able to work with local groups and communities to run activities that engage people with their local river in fun and creative ways. This funding provides opportunities for people to take part in new activities, learn skills and build confidence, post-COVID, by working together to improve the local river.

The first video in the series describes the North Tyne area, including the variety of protected species that rely on it and the people we work with.
As the project has developed, we’ve spoken to more people about what the rivers mean to them. You can watch the full video here.
Our final video of the series, looks at the integral part that volunteers play in maintaining our rivers and what it means to them.

The River North Tyne and River Rede are home to some unique and endangered species, the only places that these species are found in the whole of the Tyne catchment:
