WHAT WE DO

Andover Trees United is an award-winning, community-led environmental charity connecting people of all ages through conservation, education and volunteering. To enrich lives through nature, engage our community in hands-on conservation, empower people of all ages to care for the environment, and provide a welcoming woodland where everyone can explore, learn and belong.

ENRICH

THE ENVIRONMENT IS AT THE HEART OF EVERYTHING WE DO

We carefully consider the impact of our actions. We recognise that all living things, plants, animals, people and the landscapes they inhabit, are deeply interconnected. Each depends on the other to survive and thrive. That understanding guides our work every day and is our approach to the creation, enrichment and stewardship of thriving wild spaces.

ENGAGE

Why we engage with the community

Nature should be accessible to everyone - by widening participation and encouraging people from all backgrounds to engage with the natural environment, we create opportunities for meaningful outdoor experiences. In particular, we are passionate about increasing young people’s involvement in nature-based activities, helping to nurture the next generation of environmental stewards.

EMPOWER

EMPOWERING COMMUNITIES IN ANDOVER

Climate change is a big topic and it can feel like an overwhelming one. We believe that connecting people, both children and adults, with the natural world creates understanding, fosters appreciation and encourages more responsible, sustainable behaviours. Through education we aim to empower our local schools and community to engage with environmental issues in meaningful ways.

Did you know? - A single young tree can absorb around 11kg of carbon dioxide in its first year! Trees play a vital role in tackling climate change. They absorb carbon dioxide (CO₂) from the air, one of the main gases causing global warming. Volunteer with us to learn more and gain practical skills, grow in confidence, and experience positive change in yourself and the environment around you.
