Durham Wildlife Trust and Durham Cathedral are working together to understand how people use and enjoy the riverbanks in Durham City.

 

By gathering information on how residents and visitors move through and feel about the areas of the riverbanks under the care of Durham Cathedral, the Trust, together with the Cathedral, will develop community-driven ideas for future projects to improve natural habitats and experiences along the riverbanks.

 

If you live in, or have visited Durham City, please do take our short survey available online here - https://www.durhamwt.com/durham-riverbanks 

 

The survey will be open for responses until Monday 28th April. If you have any queries, please do let eroutledge@durhamwt.co.uk  know.Durham Wildlife Trust and Durham Cathedral are working together to understand how people use and enjoy the riverbanks in Durham City.

 


 
 

The Discovery of Birds


An Exhibition at Ushaw Historic House, Chapels & Gardens


From the dazzling plumage of exotic species to the meticulous studies of Britain’s beloved garden birds, The Discovery of Birds at Ushaw is a must-see exhibition for birdwatchers and nature lovers.


Running from Saturday 12 April to Sunday 22 June 2025, this fascinating exhibition uncovers the evolution of bird art and ornithology, drawing on Ushaw Library’s extraordinary collection of natural history books. Spanning the Renaissance to the nineteenth century, it showcases the work of pioneering naturalists and illustrators who shaped our understanding of avian life.


Marvel at breathtaking illustrations that brought the world’s birds to life long before photography. Discover how explorers, scientists, and artists documented newly discovered species, capturing the beauty and mystery of the avian world. This is more than an exhibition—it’s a journey through the golden age of bird discovery.


Entry is included with an Ushaw Membership or Day Pass.
