Countryside Leaflets and Publications
We have a rapidly expanding number of leaflets and publications to help people enjoy the countryside. These include a range of walks leaflets including the Teesdale Way as well as a set of guides to our wildlife sites and recreational woodlands.
Partnership Working
The Council works hand in hand with other conservation organisations to help deliver the countryside people want.
Getting Involved
Community Steering Groups are local people helping to shape the future of some of our sites, the Black Poplar Project is the Council's nationally renowned project to save Britain's rarest native tree.
