EARTH DAY

MONDAY VOLUNTEER CONSERVATION DAYS

Every Monday, whether at Harmony Woods or the Vigo Road allotment, our volunteer days bring together teamwork, laughter, and care for nature. This month we made major moves as planning and mapping out future developments took place alongside the exciting installation of official sign boards! Our pond has also been pampered with a new bank and ladder installed for future dips. a wind-terbine is also in the works with exciting promise of more sustainability.
alongside all this, our usual woodland care tasks are picking up pace as spring picks up, with seed sewing, mulching, weeding and all the rest of it.
Thank you to our Monday workday volunteers for all your hard work!

Work was done in teams: team one took on seed sowing while team two the second team tackled the more physical job of digging holes for new signage and notice boards. Working across three different locations in the wood, they prepared the ground for posts that will soon hold our upcoming signage!
A big thank you to all the families who came along and helped out — your time and energy make a real difference to the woodland.

Here’s a look back to Good Friday, alongside our first survey of the year, Abbey and Kanchi attended Enham Trust’s Easter in the orchard event. Abbey and Kanchi did some incredible paper pot making and seed sowing with attendees. What a packed day! Full of Easter fun and nature activities.

Thanks to everyone who joined our half term Tall Tales & Seasonal Stories event on Monday 30th March. It was a great start to the Easter holidays, featuring interactive storytelling from Amanda Kane-Smith of Merry-Go-Round Storytelling, along with natural egg dyeing led by Jolanta Rolt. It was a lovely way to explore the outdoors and connect with nature whilst celebrating Easter.

As we celebrated the first-ever GOODallDAY on April 3rd, in memory of the late Dr Jane Goodall, we’re proud to have marked the day by carrying out our first biodiversity survey of 2026.

Together, Abbey and Kanchi surveyed life across our site from wildflowers and grasses to birds, pollinators and butterflies, building a picture of how our woodland is evolving and where we can continue to support it.

This month we were delighted to welcome back Arts and Business students from Andover College for a second year 
The students have done stellar work in aiding and learning about woodland management through weeding, mulching, and watering the newly seeded areas from our growing wildflower efforts. Photographs, reflections and sketches will be transformed into artworks which will form part of an exhibition later in the year.

We were delighted to join the Men’s Breakfast Club for a morning of conversation, connection and a little bit of nature in action. From sharing more about what we do at Andover Trees, to getting hands-on with seed sowing, it was a brilliant way to bring people together and celebrate the season of renewal.

Great company, shared learning, and the chance to plant something that will grow long after the day itself.

A big thank you to everyone who joined us and got involved. We loved being part of it!

Andover Trees was built by a community. We created a place for nature and people to thrive through education and collaboration. We make sure to keep that community spirit alive through events and initiatives at and outside of the woods. On Friday, we had the pleasure of returning to Willow Court to work with residents as part of our Disappearing Wildflowers campaign. These visits are a chance for residents to connect with nature, chat with the team and share stories

From the first seeds sown to the smiles, and love of nature we’ve seen from pupils, it’s clear this work is already making an impact.
We kicked off our campaign on 13th April with pupils from Knights Enham Junior School. Just two days later, on the 15th April, we welcomed Year 3 from Clatford Primary School for our second session, followed by Portway Juniors on the 19th. A huge shoutout to all the children and their teachers for taking action to make a difference.

This is only the start. We have many more school sessions planned in the weeks ahead, and we’ll report back soon!
At its heart, the Disappearing Wildflowers campaign reflects everything we stand for at Andover Trees United - educating, inspiring and creating meaningful opportunities for people, especially young people, to connect with nature.
