Get on your boots and get exploring! Our project is all about new, exciting and enriching ways to get you involved in the precious Chilterns AONB.
Chalk, Cherries and Chairs is a five-year project inspiring people to learn something new, get involved and take action as Chilterns Champions. We also run exciting festivals to celebrate each season in the Chilterns, so far showcasing local art, music, heritage and wildlife – with family friendly events upcoming this year and next!
