EQUINOX WALK: A seasonal circular walk to look out for signs of spring takes place on Thursday, March 21 from 10am.

The Spring Equinox walk takes in some of the improvements made along Ormesby and Middle Becks by the three-year Boro Becks project, while searching for clues that spring is on its way. Walkers can also look out for one of Britain’s rarest mammals, the water vole, which is extinct in many parts of the country but thriving along Middlesbrough’s becks.

Meet at the Pallister Park car park on Ormesby Road. For more information contact the Boro Becks Prokect on 01642-515618 or email borobecks@middlesbrough.gov.uk.
