Exploring a Chilterns Landscape by Tony Marshall

Tracking the Impact is an exciting landscape scale monitoring programme being delivered in the Chilterns AONB. 2023 will be the third year of delivery and the Chilterns Conservation Board are now recruiting volunteers to the project which this year has expanded its focus to include the whole of the Chess Valley river catchment.

Tracking the Impact is free of charge and funded by the Chalk, Cherries and Chairs Landscape Partnership Scheme and the Chess Valley Smarter Water Catchment project.

 

Focusing on birds, butterflies and plants the project offers opportunities to:

 

  • Carry out surveys on 1km squares
  • Attend survey methodology training courses
  • Attend species ID training courses
  • Join an active WhatsApp support group

 

Hopefully, something for people of all levels of experience and interest.

 

Two workshops are being organised where you are more than welcome to come along and hear about the results from the first two years of surveys, details of what is involved and what support is available to you.
