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 2026-27 season will be on Tuesday 6th October when Katherine O'Hara will be giving a talk on 'Space for Shorebirds' - protecting the birds of the Northumberland Coast.

The full programme for our 2026-27 season of talks is available here. As usual we'll be meeting in St. Mary's Parish Centre and refreshments will be available. Entry fee £3.

Outdoor events

Accounts of our recent outing to Liddells nature reserve, and earlier walks, are on the 'Other Events' page.
