Our 44-acre site includes native deciduous woodland, chalk grassland, wildflower meadow, hazel thickets which will be coppiced, hedgerows, and a pond - all vital habitats providing resources for a wide range of species. 

22 May | Wherwell Village Hall

Join us for Andover Trees’ biggest fundraising event of the year! A special evening bringing together supporters, volunteers and friends of the woodland for a fun and memorable night in support of Harmony Woods.

Taking place at Wherwell Village Hall on Friday 22 May, the evening will feature our much-loved Auction of Promises, where a fantastic range of experiences, gifts and local treats will be auctioned to raise vital funds for the woodland.

From unique days out to handmade items, hospitality and more, every promise donated helps support the ongoing care and development of Harmony Woods and the Diamond Wood.

Funds raised from the evening help us:

• Care for and maintain the woodland

• Support our growing programme of community and volunteering activities

• Provide nature experiences for local families and schools

• Continue planting and nurturing trees for future generations

It’s always a wonderful evening filled with laughter, generosity and community spirit and a great opportunity to spend time with the people who care about the woodland as much as you do.

This year’s host will be announced soon, but if previous years are anything to go by, it promises to be another fantastic night.
