Gas pipeline company Transco has supported the launch of a leaflet encouraging people to take part in wildlife gardening.

The leaflet has been produced by Durham Wildlife Trust in association with the company and Durham City Council, with support from Durham County Council.

An average-sized garden is, according to the trust, capable of supporting up to 3,000 different species, ranging from the common frog to a wide range of birds, which can be attracted by gardening in an environmentally-friendly way.
