Chilterns Chalk Streams Project

Our Chilterns Chalk Streams Project works with local people across the Chilterns to improve river habitats, improve access and enjoyment and promote the sustainable use of water.

Mend the Gap

How we are reducing and compensating for the visual harm done to the Chilterns and North Wessex Downs National Landscapes by the electrification of the Great Western main line.

Chess Smarter Water Catchment

Our Chess Smarter Water Catchment project is tackling the issues that face the river and its catchment through partnership working.

Chilterns Heritage and Archaeology Partnership

CHAP is an exciting new endeavour which is set to be the ‘voice for archaeology’ in the Chilterns.
