Friends of Witton Dene was established in 2006, and is based in County Durham. Witton Dene is a small wooded valley running from the village of Witton Gilbert to the River Browney. It involves creating a wildflower meadow, grassy glade and a wetland area. Signage will be installed; listing and illustrating birds and wildlife that can be seen in the Dene. A wooden footbridge will be installed along with timber edged steps, pathways and an improved gate.
