Middlesbrough Council, the Environment Agency and the Tees Valley Wildlife Trust have joined forces to launch the 3-year Boro Becks Project. Funding has been awarded by the Big Lottery as part of the Access to Nature grants programme administered by Natural England.

The Boro Becks project is all about getting people involved in the becks through events and activities, training, practical task days and environmental and access improvements. People will be kept informed as to what is happening along the becks through newsletters, websites, leaflets and Facebook. We want to reach out to everybody in the local community and actively engage with people so that they can all make a positive contribution to the management of the becks and enjoy them as valuable green spaces and wildlife hotspots.

The four becks covered by the project are Marton West Beck, Middle Beck, Ormesby Beck and Spencerbeck. Our team is based at Stewart Park and comprises: Barry Jobson, the Becks Ranger; Christine Corbett; the Community Outreach Officer and Sammy Brown, the Project Coordinator.

If you have any ideas, queries, questions or suggestions, please get in touch with us on 01642 515618, or e-mail us at borobecks@middlesbrough.gov.uk and look out for our events, newsletters and activities over the coming months!
