Discover opportunities for young people across the Chilterns

To make it easier to discover what’s available, we’ve brought together a wide range of opportunities, activities and resources for young people in one place.

Whether you’re a young person looking to gain experience, a parent searching for outdoor activities, or a teacher, youth worker or carer planning opportunities for children and young people, you’ll find plenty of inspiration and practical information to help people of all ages explore and enjoy the Chilterns.

The new webpages showcase opportunities from the Chilterns National Landscape and our partners, including school visits, the popular Trout in the Classroom programme, youth groups, volunteering, citizen science projects, work experience placements and early career opportunities. You’ll also find resources for organisations working with young people and ideas for getting involved throughout the year.

Spending time in nature helps build confidence, develops new skills and fosters a lifelong connection with the landscape. By bringing all this information together in one place, we’re making it easier for young people, families and educators to discover the many ways they can experience the Chilterns and play a part in caring for it.

Whether you’re taking your first steps into conservation, looking for a new outdoor activity or seeking opportunities to learn and develop, there’s something for everyone.
