*Living by the Ash Tree Waters project uses artist-led walking explorations and musical encounters to connect children and adults in Andover and two nearby villages to their chalk streams and rivers.

Explorations along stream and river banks will use specially designed backpacks and the visual arts to celebrate and awaken curiosity in participants about their waterways. Learning and performing traditional folk music, with a focus on locally collected songs, will introduce local residents to their stream-related heritage.

This Andover Trees United project is funded through TVBC and through the Watercress and Winterbourne Landscape Partnership Scheme, made possible by NHLF.
