A GROUP of cadets are joining in the battle to prepare a community farm for its yearly invasion of visitors.
The cadets from the Port Clarence Detachment are rolling up their sleeves and getting their hands dirty along with volunteers and staff from the Tees Valley Wildlife Trust and Stockton Borough Council, to tidy up around the Clarences Community Farm, Stockton.
They will help with activities such as pond clearance, fence construction, hedge management and maintenance work around the farm.
Jonathan Pounder, Tees Corridor project officer with the Tees Valley Wildlife Trust said: "This is a great opportunity for local people and the cadets to get involved with improving their local environment, helping both themselves and the local community.
"Through the work individuals will gain new experience and skills, whilst having fun and the farm will benefit from work being carried out after last year's closure."
The work has been granted money from the Whitbread Action 2001/2002 fund.
The clean-up takes place on Saturday, March 30, from 10am to 3pm at the Clarence Community Farm.
