About 200 dormant orchids are being relocated to a new nature reserve to safeguard their future.

The orchids at Greenabella Marsh, near the Tees estuary, are to be transported and replanted at specially selected locations within the RSPB Saltholme nature reserve in Stockton-on-Tees and Seaton Common National Nature Reserve, Hartlepool.

The marsh is set to become an intertidal habitat as part of the Environment Agency's plan for flood alleviation in the area.
