COUNCIL chiefs are to map out a strategy for two wildlife sites in Darlington.
They aim to set up groups to oversee improvement works to the Brankin Moor nature area, near the new Darlington football stadium, and Brinkburn Pond.
Brinkburn Pond, which is home to a variety of water wildlife, has been badly neglected in recent years.
The authority plans to establish steering groups to increase the attractiveness of both sites.
Work, funded partly by the Countryside Agency, will start later in summer on improvements to both sites.
Eventually it is hoped both can be declared statutory local nature reserves.
The plans will be discussed at a meeting of the Darlington Environmental Forum at the town hall today
