A GROUP of schoolchildren from Thornaby will soon be on the trail of nature.

For an educational nature and wildlife walk has been created at Teesdale park with the help of a community dividend grant, courtesy of the North-Eastern Co-op.

The £500 award has enabled Thornaby FC Community Project to buy trees, shrubs and plants for the scheme. The grant award was made by North Eastern Co-op's Teesside divisional committee.
