Wildlife in Ponteland

Although close to the Tyneside conurbation, Ponteland's many well-maintained gardens, river, beautiful Park and surrounding quiet countryside provide a range of habitats which are home to a wide variety of plants and animals

What we do...

Our Group is here to encourage everyone's interest in wildlife and the environment, particularly in and around Ponteland. We meet for talks every month from September to April, and occasional outdoor events during the summer. Have a look at the upcoming talks and events

Upcoming talks:

Details of our talks are sent out each month during the programme season to everyone on our e-mail list of supporters - if you're not on the list and would like to be added please send your e-mail address to pontelandwildlifegroup@gmail.com.

NEXT TALK: The next session of the 2024-25 programme is on Tuesday 7th January 2025 when Max Adams will be giving a talk entitled Trees of Life in the Wood Age. Max is an archaeologist, woodsman, and the acclaimed author of books covering a variety of topics including woodlands and Medieval history.

The full programme for our 2024-25 season of talks is on our Talks page . As usual we'll be meeting in St. Mary's Parish Centre and refreshments will be available. Entry fee £2 (£3 from January 2025).

Outdoor events

Accounts of our recent outings to The Spetchells and The College Valley, and earlier walks, are on the 'Other Events' page.
