A GUIDED walk around a town centre nature reserve will be held next weekend to keep residents informed about conservation projects on their doorstep.

The countryside team from Sedgefield Borough Council will lead ramblers around Byerley Park Local Nature Reserve, in Newton Aycliffe.

Local reserves officer Tammy Casey hopes the walk will enable the council's countryside team to discuss management plans and conservation projects with the public.

To join the walk, meet at the Horndale Club, Meadowfield Way, in Newton Aycliffe, at 9am on Saturday, April 16.
