A NATURE reserve in Darlington has been given a facelift - thanks to the arrival of truckloads of reeds.
Two-metre high reeds have been delivered to the Maidendale Fishing and Nature Reserve, at Firthmoor.
They were taken from Billingham Beck Country Park, in Teesside, and have been replanted in 50 places around the reserve's two fishing ponds and wildlife ponds. Once established, the reeds will provide nesting sites for birds and shelter for wildlife.
