Teesdale Way and Heritage Trails

The Teesdale Way and Heritage Trails project provides the backbone to River Tees Rediscovered. The aim is to create a strong identity and continuity for this section of the Tees through joint working with local authorities, organisations and communities.

Wings of the Tees

Wings of the Tees will involve local communities in celebrating and learning about the winged wildlife of the River Tees (birds, bats, dragon and damselflies). This will be through surveys, habitat creation and other activities, which will improve the river corridor as an area for these species to inhabit.
