A COLLEGE is celebrating its talent for tree handling after taking part in a country show.

East Durham and Houghall Community College's arbour staff and students put together an impressive display of tree climbing, relaying, rescue and dismantling at this summer's Great Yorkshire Show.

The event has been attended by the college for several years.

Ian Prescott, college principal, said: "I'm thrilled that the team could go to such an important land-based show."
