YOUNGSTERS have been thanked for conservation work.
Cubs and Beavers from the First Redcar Scout Group gave up their spare time for ten Saturday mornings in succession.
With parents and carers, they carried out practical conservation tasks at Coatham Marsh, Redcar, including path clearing and maintenance, tree planting, mending fences, as well as finding out about endangered wildlife.
Linda Taggart, a family learning co-ordinator with the Adult Learning Service, Redcar, said the children gained environmental knowledge, helped the environment and improved the appearance and accessibility of the marsh.
The youngsters were presented with awards from the Tees Valley Wildlife Trust.
The work helped them obtain their conservation scouting badges, and eight adults on the project received certificates.
