A care provider supported a school's tree-planting session as part of a community woodland project.
Bluebird Care Andover & Stockbridge supported Andover Trees United to help pupils from Wolverdene Special School take part in a tree-planting session at Bury Hill Meadows.
The session introduced children to the importance of woodlands in supporting wildlife and formed part of a wider project that has already seen more than 6,000 trees planted as part of Andover Trees United’s four-year programme.

Norman Murphy, managing director of Bluebird Care Andover and Stockbridge, said: "It was a joy to see the Wolverdene pupils so engaged and enthusiastic as they got stuck in planting their trees.
"These experiences not only teach essential lessons about our environment but also highlight the profound impact of getting outdoors - especially for young people with additional needs.
"We're proud to support Andover Trees United create lasting memories that will grow with the woodland."
The day offered Wolverdene pupils hands-on learning in nature, helping to build confidence and nurture a sense of achievement in a setting different from the classroom.
Staff from Bluebird Care were on hand to offer encouragement and guidance throughout the session.
