TheWoWDBThe Woodlands Walkers attack you when you ask for the bark, you kill them and take it.
Unfortunately the ancients aren't always friendly (don't bother trying if they aren't).
If you do manage to strengthen them they will disappear, so have fun.

This quest appears to become available when you pick up the quest Atop the Woodlands.
You need to talk with 3 Woodlands Walkers. ALWAYS u will get a Bark of the walkers because, when u talk to him, hes going just to give it or attack you and give it.
If he dont attacks u he will say:
Breaking off a piece of its bark, the Woodlands Walker hands it to you before departing.If he attacks you:
The Woodlands Walker is angered by your request and attacks!.Then, use the Bark of the Walkers on The Lothalor Acient then, the acient will say:
The Lothalor Acient gives you its thanks.GL

Description
The ancients of the Lothalor Woods to the south are being corrupted by arcane wyrms... wyrms which have risen out of the ground! Those that are already corrupted are deadly and of no use to us, but most can still be saved. Luckily, the treants of the woods seem to be immune to everything happening up there. Ask the treants for their bark and when you get some, feed it to the ancients. This should strengthen them. Now leave me to my business! I have to keep an eye on these apothecaries.
