You’re warmly invited to join us for Andover Trees United’s annual Walks, Bioblitz, AGM & Lunch — a chance to get together, explore the Diamond Wood, celebrate everything we have achieved over the past year, and say a very big THANK YOU to everyone who has helped make it happen.
Your support really does make a difference.
Once a year, we come together to share our achievements, celebrate our volunteers and members, hear about what’s planned for the year ahead, and give everyone the opportunity to share their ideas for the future of the charity.
