Future-proofing the Chilterns
Securing the future of the Chilterns National Landscape
The Chilterns National Landscape is a protected landscape of national importance, valued for its natural beauty, yet facing increasing pressures from climate change, biodiversity loss and development.
The Chilterns Conservation Board works with local authorities, land managers, partners and communities to respond to these challenges and to protect, enhance and care for the landscape.
The pages below set out the evidence, strategies and actions that guide this work.
