Family Tree Planting Days
Our tree planting sessions for families take place on the picturesque Hinton Ampner estate and will introduce kids, parents and grandparents to the hands-on, earthy delight of planting saplings that we hope will grow into glorious native woodland.
- Booking essential
- Free event (admission applies)
The little saplings you will plant, will grow into glorious native woodland and each tree will provide homes, shelter and food for hundreds of species of wildlife, from barbastelle bats to purple emperor butterflies. You will be playing your part in the Reimagining a Hampshire Estate project we are embarking on to create a 60-hectare woodland.
This is a free event but booking is essential. As a thank you for helping us plant our trees your ticket will also include access to Hinton Ampner's café, house, shop and gardens.
Plant a tree and become part of our woodland legacy!
