A step change to nature recovery in the north Chilterns

The Community WildBelt project, funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund and the Rothschild Foundation, created a joined-up approach to nature conservation through local people.

The project developed and supported individuals, Parish Councils and community groups in the Wendover-Tring-Aylesbury triangle to take practical and positive action and help nature recovery on their doorsteps. Now closed, Community WildBelt continues to support the local expertise, passion and goodwill through the Community WildBelt Toolkit. It’s packed with practical tips, inspiring stories, and easy-to-use resources to help you take action. Whether you’re just starting out or already leading local projects, use the Community WildBelt Toolkit button below to get started.
