The heritage of the Tyne to Tees seascape is locally and nationally significant and deserves to be better explored and celebrated. We need people help us do this; this may be through monitoring our fragile coastal habitats for species unique to our cliff tops such as the Durham Argus Butterfly, helping out with our on-water activities, or researching our maritime heritage and joining in an archaeology dig. Further information on any of these opportunities can be requested by contacting info@exploreseascapes.co.uk
In partnership with Tees Archaeology, the SeaScapes scheme seeks to explore the ‘Changing Coastline’ on the Tyne to Tees through collaborative local community heritage projects where local people will be introduced to the range of sources that are available for them to find out about their local heritage.
The BlueScapes project is recruiting volunteer Active Outdoors Assistants to help us run exciting and engaging activities in, on and beside the water for a range of audiences.
Our Beach Care and Aware project is supported by Northumbrian Water and aims to improve the water environment along the coast for the benefit of its high-status national heritage and for our local communities.
