City Expands Scenic Trail Network, Boosts Nature Exploration
31 Oct
Summary
- Plans to expand trail by next spring or summer
- New trail passes through willow and alder copse for relaxation
- Launch event features nature arts, crafts, and children's trail
In October 2025, the city is making plans to expand its trail network by next spring or summer, with the goal of linking parks and paths throughout the area. The southern stretch of the new trail passes through a semi-mature willow and alder copse, providing a peaceful spot for residents to relax.
The recent launch event for the trail featured a variety of nature-themed activities, including arts and crafts with Rewilding Youth and animal-themed crafts with Hull Scrapstore. Additionally, a children's nature trail was set up to encourage young explorers to discover the local environment.
According to Charles Quinn, the council's cabinet portfolio holder for the environment, the new trail not only supports wildlife but also includes new seating and pathways to improve accessibility. The goal is to create a safe and welcoming route for walking, cycling, and learning about the city's natural spaces. The project has been a collaborative effort, with the Environment Agency, Yorkshire Wildlife Trust, Living with Water, and Groundwork all contributing to the scheme.
