A Chilterns fit for future generations
Covering over 650 miles of iconic rolling hills, sparkling chalk streams and historic pathways and market towns, for 60 years the Chiltern Society has given a voice to all those dedicated to conserving, promoting and campaigning for the Chilterns. With our volunteers, members and partners, we are tackling some of the most serious threats to the countryside – from climate change, to overbearing development and disappearing green spaces and wildlife – to care for this unique landscape.
As a charity, we relay on people like you to support our work caring for the countryside. As a member you will be…
- helping to protect and restore pathways for walkers, horse riders and cyclists that crisscross the Chilterns.
- protecting and enhancing the woodlands, nature reserves and wild places cared for by our Conservation Volunteers.
- uncovering over 100 Chiltern Society walks and events to explore the best of the area.
- fighting the worst excesses of building, development and infrastructure projects.
Join now to take advantage of 2020 membership from as little as £30.00 a year or £2.50 a month. Prices change in July.
As a member you’ll receive…
- A free footpath map
- Chiltern – our quarterly magazine packed with fascinating articles and great features, delivered direct to your door
- Chiltern Society conferences and events. You’ll be invited to a range of events and conferences along with our annual AGM
If you choose to add a small donation when you join, your membership support will go even further.
The Chilterns is a special place, and together we can keep it that way.
How your membership makes a difference:
There are 2,200 miles of paths and bridleways that our Path Maintenance and Rights of Way Volunteers help maintain and protect so people can easily connect with nature.
Our scrutiny of national and local planning policy champions sustainable development and protects biodiversity.
From walking and cycling groups, photography to food and drink events, our walks, talks and events bring people together with Chiltern’s character and landscape.
Chiltern’s valleys, chalk grasslands and streams provide unique – and fragile – habitats for wildlife to thrive. We are on the ground managing woodland, clearing streams, and creating homes for wildlife.
