This week’s Volunteer Conservation Day was back at Harmony Wood and was a wonderful mix of teamwork, dedication, and a love for our shared woodland space. Trevor and the Harrow Way team walked the perimeter fence, looking for breaches where deer might sneak in and to identify weak spots in the poles and wire that need attention.
At the eastern end, the rest of the team focused on the pathways, aiming to make them more accessible for visitors, marking trees that needed trimming to widen the walkways. Thanks to their efforts, walking through the woods will now be a more enjoyable experience for everyone.
Annette also prepared willow branches for the Christmas wreath workshop, which we’re thrilled to host for Lloyds Bank employees.
A special highlight of the day was the planting of a cherished Horse Chestnut tree, lovingly nurtured for years by John and Chris. Trevor, Chase, Sonny, and Mr. Allon gave it a new home in the woodland, where it will hopefully thrive and bring joy for generations to come.
We have a volunteer workday every Monday morning throughout the year, except for bank holidays, and the second Saturday of every month. If you would like to join us for practical conservation work looking after the woods and be part of a friendly team, get in touch with doreen.gregori@andovertrees.org.uk
