Chalk, Cherries & Chairs

Chalk, Cherries and Chairs is a five-year project inspiring people to learn something new, get involved and take action as Chilterns Champions.

Chalk, Cherries & Chairs is an ambitious scheme which aims to connect people to the wildlife and cultural heritage of the central Chilterns.

The scheme weaves together three principal themes – local wildlife, local heritage and local people – within eighteen projects designed to engage people and celebrate the area, to protect and enhance the central Chilterns landscape.

All the projects share common threads, including volunteering, learning and skills acquisition for young people, including practical experience in historical research, traditional crafts, digital media communications and environmental conservation in practice. The scheme also provides small grants to encourage community initiatives and traineeships for young enthusiasts.
