A NATURE-focused volunteer group is inviting members of the public to join it for a guided woodland walk.
The Woodlands Walk and Talk event will be hosted by Andover Trees United on Saturday, September 10.
Lasting from 10am to 1pm, the event will feature a guided walk through Harmony Woods, an urban woodland created by the charity.
The walk will allow members of Andover Trees United's youth team to highlight areas of interest in the woods that link to the conservation work the group has undertaken this year.

It will also offer a chance to see the organisation's woodland cabin build in its final stages of development.
The charity’s annual general meeting will be held after the walk.
Those who have volunteered with the group in the past year will have the right to vote in the general meeting.
Following the meeting, attendees will hear from the youth team, who will discuss the projects they have been working on, before holding their awards ceremony.
After the awards ceremony members of the team that participated in a recent expedition to Costa Rica will share stories and photos from their exciting international ecology exchange trip.
The event will then be capped off with an optional light lunch.
Those who would like to attend the lunch should RSVP to Andover Trees United with details of any food allergies so the right amount of food can be prepared.
Everyone is welcome at the event to learn more and celebrate what the charity has achieved this year, as well as thank those who have helped along the way.
Andover Trees United is a volunteer-led group and registered charity working to promote conservation and wellbeing and improve access to natural wild spaces for all.
