Our Work
Communities are central to the success of our project.
We want to connect people to the wildlife and cultural heritage of the Central Chilterns. Our work covers three themes – wildlife, heritage and community – all designed with the Chilterns landscape in mind. Our interweaving projects have been especially developed to provide opportunities for people and communities to learn about and care for the Chilterns.
