Published: 2010-02-04 12:19:43
Newcastle's Ouseburn Explorer initiative has been nominated in the education and learning category at the 2010 Waterways Renaissance Awards.
Taking place in Salford on 17 March, the awards are designed to celebrate best practice in sustainable waterway regeneration throughout the UK.
The initiative saw the council produce a colourful guide to the riverside area, designed to allow children to take the lead when exploring Ouseburn Valley with their parents.
Roger Hanbury, chief executive of The Waterways Trust, said: "The finalist projects clearly show that the renaissance of our waterways is continuing to transform our environment, bringing communities together and injecting new life into their environment.
"The Waterways Renaissance Awards is now in their eighth year and these projects are excellent examples of what can be achieved with vision, commitment and partnership working."
