The College\u2019s Students spend time with younger students from local schools, helping them plant seeds in nursery beds, which will then grow into trees and be brought to Harmony Woods as a community gift.&nbsp;Whilst planting the trees, the&nbsp;college\u2019s students are able to share their knowledge with the younger students and educate them on what they are doing and why.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lynne McCandlish, Geography and Environmental Science Lecturer&nbsp;said \u201cThe&nbsp;first&nbsp;year Environmental Science students visited Harmony Woods to assist local school children to plant trees as part of the 10th anniversary&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.andovertrees.org.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Andover Trees United<\/a>&nbsp;urban woodland project. The students really enjoyed assisting the&nbsp;Year 3 pupils engaging with this valuable local conservation project headed up by Wendy Davies who was recently awarded the Points of Light award by the Prime Minister for her outstanding contribution to volunteering.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wendy Davies, Andover Trees, said \u201cThe&nbsp;college will have many students who, over the years, have planted a tree in the wood and as the children grow, so does their wood and their understanding. The project was devised to enable young people to learn about the natural world, to take practical action against climate change, make a difference in their community and demonstrate that as local adults we do more than talk about the environmental crisis &#8211; we do things. With&nbsp;COP26&nbsp;having just taken&nbsp;place, this is a brilliant time to make&nbsp;the discussions&nbsp;real and meaningful. I hope that you will agree that an hour (or two) spent in the wood, planting trees and learning&nbsp;first hand&nbsp;about environmental science will inspire them and advance their understanding.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Julie Milburn, Principal and Chief Executive of Sparsholt College Group, said \u201cSparsholt College Group is committed to promoting sustainability in order to protect and enhance our environment. We integrate sustainability considerations into all organisational decisions and have a strong sustainability strategy that will lead us to being a Carbon Neutral College Group by 2040. We are proud to have been&nbsp;a part of Andover Tree\u2019s project at Harmony Woods for the past 10 years and look forward to growing this connection as we collectively respond to the climate emergency. We all have a part to play in making our environment a safer place to be, for us and future generations.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Find out more about this project by visiting&nbsp;www.andovertrees.org.uk&nbsp;.&nbsp;You can find out more about the Geography and Environmental Science courses at Andover.ac.uk.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"template":"","acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 -
