Stephenson Steam Railway - Learning and communities woodland walk support

Would you like to be part of a new and exciting environmental project in North Tyneside that will transform a disused area of land into a haven for wildlife and a place where local communities can connect with nature?

Stephenson Steam Railway is creating a Woodland Walk on its site with help of a National Lottery Heritage Fund grant. We’re dedicated to providing children and local communities with the opportunity to learn about the area's natural and industrial heritage and explore how this heritage connects them to the wider world.

We're looking for volunteers that can support our Learning and Communities teams to work with local school children and local communities to help make artwork for the Woodland Walk and maintain the site into the future.
