Saturday September 24th , 5-6:30pm

Come for a very chilled, laid back walk around the woods in the early evening. We will have a look at the foraging species present in the woods and collect some tree and wildflower seeds, followed by a tasting of jellies and chutneys that have made from Harmony Woods fruits. We will have the bat detectors on hand just in case the conditions are suitable for bats (but we cannot promise anything due to the lateness in the season!)

Get in touch if you'd like to come along! Email: alex.marshall@andovertrees.org.uk

Free event. Spaces limited so sign up is essential, suited to all ages and abilities!
