GROUPS set up to help develop Darlington's nature reserves are continuing to grow.
Darlington Borough Council says there are now steering groups for the Drinkfield Marsh, Brinkburn Pond and Firthmoor reserves, and The Whinnies at Middleton St George.
The groups meet every few months and are involved in work to improve the sites. Anyone wishing to find out more can contact Sarah Storey on (01325) 388637.
There is also now a Friends of South Burdon group, run by the Tees Forest, which is creating woodland on 250 acres of land bought by the Forestry Commission.
The site, at South Burdon Farm alongside the A66 at the Stockton Road end of the town, is to become an area for people to enjoy walking, cycling and horse-riding.
