VOLUNTEER CONSERVATION DAYS

Caring for the wood continues as the weather changes and brings in the opportunity to strim pathways, cut back hedges, mark the young trees that will need replacing in a couple of months time and carryout some pond maintenance.

Read the Digging It blog to find out more of what else went on last month!

The final session was a success! The new prototype cameras produced striking  images that lent themselves perfectly to the creation of our very own public artwork.

Check out what we did here and keep an eye out in town for the artwork to be displayed.

Children from four Andover schools came together at Harmony Woods for Andover Trees United’s annual procession marking the United Nations International Day of Peace.

Pupils and Students from Abbotts Ann Primary School, Harrow Way Community School, Endeavour Primary School and Knights Enham Juniors took part.

The annual procession forms part of Andover Trees United’s wider work to inspire a generation of environmental stewards and demonstrate how community woodland can support education, wellbeing and stronger local connections.
