CHARITY workers are gearing up to help improve a wildlife project.

Vritish Trust Conservation Volunteers (BTCV) based at Kiplin Hall, start work tomorrow on a scheme to enhance a wildlife walk at Northdale Horticulture, in Yafforth Road, Northallerton. Northdale provides gardening experience for people with disabilities.

The workers are building a wooden footbridge and a pathway to link up an existing nature trail with a new wildlife pond at the centre.

The project is the latest in a series of exchanges between the two groups which has seen BTCV build footpaths and Northdale provide them with bat boxes in return.

The nature trail is available for school visits and is open to the public. For details, contact Northdale on (01609) 770269
