Northend Common

Restoring the unique biodiversity of our commons

With nature on commons across the Chilterns threatened as traditional forms of management decline, from changes of use, development, and of course, climate change, our new reserve at Northend, near Turville, will help us achieve our vision of building a sustainable future for the Chilterns.

Donated by a local family, the 31 acre common gives us huge potential to enhance disappearing biodiversity that has adapted to thrive on the patchwork of habitats that commons provide.

But we can’t protect these spaces without supporters like you – the loyal people of the Chilterns.

Can you help restore Northend Common for wildlife and for people?

Protecting
Northend Common

Protecting the Common will be costly for our charity. For example, the initial costs of equipping a new volunteer team is around £5,000, the average fee for scythe training a group is £300, the typical price of a pair of chest waders is £90, and so on.

Yes, I want to play a part in helping you protect and restore Northend Common.
PLEASE HELP

Our plan for Northend Common will focus on five priorities:

1
Establishing a diverse woodland

2
Creating more woodland rides and glades for wildlife

3
Connecting people with nature

4
Restoring the pond

5
Involving local people and communities

However you choose to help us achieve our mission, together we can save this landscape for future generations

Taking on the Common will be costly to our charity. Whatever you can give will make a difference.
