We’ll return to The Cabin for a cuppa, refreshments and a chance to catch up with fellow ATU members, volunteers and supporters.

After the AGM, there will be time to look around our displays, chat with the team, ask questions and enjoy a light lunch together.

Please let us know in advance if you would like to stay for lunch and tell us about any allergies or dietary requirements, so we can prepare enough food for everyone.

Whether you’ve volunteered every week, supported us occasionally, joined a project, attended an event, or simply cheered us on from the sidelines, we’d love to see you.

Come and enjoy the woods, meet fellow ATU supporters, celebrate what we’ve achieved together, hear what’s next — and help us shape the future.

Become a Risk Detective!

We'll also start thinking like real ecologists and woodland workers.

As we explore, we'll look for hazards, discuss what is actually risky in the woods and think about how we can stay safe while still having fun.

You'll use your first experiences of The Diamond Wood to create your own simple woodland risk assessment.

Your Ideas Matter!

This is a tester session, so we want to hear what you think!

Your ideas and interests will help shape future Tree Ents & Skylarks sessions alongside the challenges needed to achieve the Junior Forester Award.

Come and explore, discover and help build the Youth Club from the very beginning!

October Community Conservation Day

This October, we’re bringing the community together to rewild the wood and help restore our precious chalk grassland as part of our Disappearing Wildflowers project.

We’ll be planting wildflowers that have been grown by our school communities and local people at our allotment and at home, giving these plants a new home in the wood and helping to create a richer, more biodiverse habitat for wildlife.

Come along and get stuck in with practical wildflower planting, learn more about our disappearing wildflowers and discover how the plants we grow can make a real difference to local biodiversity. There’ll be plenty of opportunities for conversation, questions and, of course, a well-earned hot drink!

Our Community Conservation Days take place on the 2nd Saturday of each month, bringing familiar and new faces together to care for the wood and learn more about the natural world around us. See our Digging It blog for recent activities.

No experience is necessary – whether you’re a keen gardener, curious about conservation, or simply want to spend a morning outdoors making a difference, you’ll be very welcome and fully supported.

Please sign up here to confirm your place.

Any questions? Please email Abbey: abbey.sadler@andovertrees.org.uk

Volunteering with us is a great way to take practical action for biodiversity and climate resilience, while making a difference in your local community. Our 44-acre site includes native deciduous woodland, chalk grassland, wildflower meadow, hazel thickets, hedgerows and a pond – all providing vital habitats and resources for a wide range of species.

Come and help us put the wildflowers back where they belong!

Tree Ents Nature Club - November's Session

TREE DETECTIVES!

Tree & Plant Identification

Saturday 7th November 2026
10:00am–12:30pm
The Diamond Wood, Andover

For ages 12–15 years
Keen and enthusiastic 11-year-olds may also be accepted.

Think you can tell one tree from another? Can you identify a tree when all the leaves have disappeared? Join Tree Ents & Skylarks Youth Club for a woodland adventure all about becoming a real-life Tree Detective!

What will we do?

We'll begin by exploring the woodland and carrying out a quick safety check before heading out on a winter tree and plant identification adventure.

Using field guides and our detective skills, we'll look for clues such as:

🌳 Bark
🌿 Buds
🍂 Leaves
🔎 Shape and surroundings

We'll discover what information ecologists use to identify trees and plants — even in winter!

Make Your Own ID Guide!

You'll then become the expert!

We'll choose plants and trees to investigate and create our own mini identification guides, deciding what information is most useful and what clues will help someone else identify a species.

Then comes the challenge...

Swap your guide!

Can you use someone else's guide to identify the right tree or plant?

We'll discover how scientists and ecologists communicate information clearly and what makes a great field guide.

Your Ideas Matter!

We'll also start thinking about what trees need to survive and how the environment around them can affect the way they grow.

Your discoveries and questions will help shape future sessions as we continue our Junior Forester Award adventure.

Come and explore, discover and help build the Youth Club from the very beginning!

Forest bathing - Komorebi Connection

Hi, I'm Dr Helen Mentink of Komorebi Connection, and I'm training to be a forest bathing guide. Originating in Japan, forest bathing, or shinrin yoku, means “immersing your senses in the atmosphere of the forest”. This is a mindful, nature connection practice that helps to relieve the stresses of daily life, leaving you feeling relaxed, rejuvenated, and with a greater appreciation for the natural environment.

Join me on a slow, relaxed walk around Harmony Woods, where we'll be stopping regularly to tune our senses in to the natural environment, often whilst sitting or lying down. Much of the time is spent in silence with a bit of optional sharing here and there, so the session is suitable for adults only please. 

This free event is part of my training, so you'll be asked to complete a questionnaire at the start and end of the session.

Places are limited - please register by emailing komorebi_connection@outlook.com

WHO LIVES IN A WOOD LIKE THIS?

Woodland Wildlife Detectives

Saturday 12th December 2026
10:00am–12:30pm
The Diamond Wood, Andover

For ages 12–15 years
Keen and enthusiastic 11-year-olds may also be accepted.

The woods might look quiet... but are they really? Join Tree Ents & Skylarks Youth Club as we become Wildlife Detectives and search for the creatures that call the woodland home!

What will we do?

After our woodland safety check, we'll head out on a wildlife adventure looking for clues.

We could discover:

🐾 Animal tracks
🪶 Feathers
🐛 Insects
🕸️ Spiders
🌿 Signs of animals feeding or hiding

Using magnifying glasses, field guides and our detective skills, we'll investigate who might be living all around us.

Old School vs Modern Tech!

How do ecologists identify wildlife?

We'll put different identification methods to the test, including traditional field guides and modern technology.

We'll discover the strengths and weaknesses of each and find out why real ecologists often use a mixture of both!

How Will the Wood Change?

We'll finish by thinking about the future.

How has the woodland changed already?

How might it change in the future?

And what could happen to the wildlife living here?

We'll share our ideas and start thinking about how people can help manage woodlands for wildlife — ready for our next Tree Ents adventures!

Come and explore, discover and help build the Youth Club from the very beginning!

Costs

  • FREE for ATU Junior Members

  • £30 per seasonal block of six sessions for non-members
