There have been a number of craft-based events at the new Ouseburn Parks visitor centre, connected to Milfield House, including a session for adults making Christmas wreathes and a session for younger visitors making yuletide table decorations and other items.
The new visitor centre has walls adorned with pictorial panels describing the history and wildlife of Jesmond Dene.

You may be aware that some nine years ago a new pond was dug in Jesmond Dene Nature Area, across the river from Pets Corner. The new pond was provided with a dipping platform to allow parties of children to dip for pond creatures. The supporting framework of the platform was made from recycled plastic, which has the advantage of not rotting, but is expensive compared to wood. The decking for the platform was made from wooden planks that we happened to have available at the time.
Happy birthday to us! 40 years young. And to celebrate, here’s the latest newsletter, packed with current and historical information.
