The Chilterns Conservation Board are holding a Celebration of the Chilterns event in October – see details below
Why a ‘Chilterns Celebration’?
Following COVID-19 and the cancellation of many events (including the Chilterns Summer Festival we had planned for June 2020), we (and our partners) want to ‘extend the season’ and offer you a month long Celebration of the Chilterns this October!
What events will be part of the Celebration?
We have been working with partners and organisations across the Chilterns to bring you a range of free and family friendly events to Celebrate the Chilterns this October. Events and resources confirmed so far are:
- Youth skill sharing and taster session day in High Wycombe, including conservation skills, sound recording, artwork and more
- Citizen science conference at Bucks New University (may be hosted online), with speakers from organisations including: BBOWT, Butterfly Conservation Trust, BTO and more
- Conservation skills trainings, led by Chiltern Rangers
- Orchard apple pressing and story telling family event in Chinnor
- Heritage walks and online workshops
- Heritage research skills videos and volunteer interviews
- Colouring sheets and maps for families to enjoy
