The Chilterns Conservation Board welcomes The Wildlife Trusts report which catalogues and confirms the heavy environmental costs of HS2 and the impacts on wildlife across the full extent of the proposed route from London to Birmingham then onto Manchester and Leeds. We know the severe impacts on the nationally protected landscape of the Chilterns AONB, which we have summarised here, but this sets it in the context of the route-wide impacts on nature of HS2.
