AN ENVIRONMENTAL charity based in north Durham is holding a day of fun activities at a new wood.

Workers at The Acorn Trust are organising children's games, a litter hunt, tree pruning and maintenance at the Acorn Wood, in South Stanley.

The community woodland was planted with the help of volunteers to celebrate the new millennium.

Anyone wishing to join in should meet at Burnside Primary School at 10.30am on Saturday, January 20.

The group will be there until 3pm. Any children under the age of 16 should either be accompanied by an adult or take written consent from a parent of guardian.

Volunteers are advised to bring along sturdy shoes and waterproofs.

All tools and training will be provided by members of the trust.
