This November we will be bringing the community together for our monthly Community Conservation Day.

If you enjoy practical outdoor work such as gardening, growing, practical conservation tasks, and a hot drink and great conversation, then our Volunteer Conservation Days are for you!

No experience is necessary and new volunteers will be fully supported.

See our Digging It blog for recent activities -https://www.andovertrees.org.uk/blog-list/diggingit2

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 contribute to action against climate change and biodiversity loss, plus make a difference in your local community. 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.
