FAMILIES showed their support for a pond project by helping plant a hedge.
Over the past few months, work has been under way to revamp Grove Ponds, a site created on part of the formerConsett steelworks.
Grants from the Sita Environmental Trust and New Opportunities Fund have enabled the site's wildlife to be managed and features such as a dipping platform and artistic steel gateways to be installed.
Groundwork West Durham has also been working with volunteers and children to help them understand and appreciate the site.
In the latest phase of the two-year project, families were invited to help plant the hedge.
