RESIDENTS are being encouraged to find out more about the countryside on their doorstep and how they can go green.
The annual Green Fair will take place in South Park on Sunday April 27 from noon until 4pm.
There will be information available on a range of environmental issues and advice on how to adopt a more sustainable lifestyle.
Representatives from the Council?s Countryside and Recycling Team will be there alongside Friends of the Earth, The Ramblers Association, Darlington Wildlife Group and the Energy Savings Trust.
Young visitors to the fair will be invited to take part in arts and crafts activities including making recycled jewellery and mini beasts, as well having the opportunity to plant some seeds.
There will be a chance for parents to join the Council?s real nappy incentive scheme and enter a prize draw to win a real nappy starter park.
Darlington Libraries will also be at the event promoting ?Beyond the Deepwoods? by Paul Stewart and Chris Riddell as part of this year?s One Book for Darlington scheme.
