The Chiltern Society was established over 50 years ago and is supported by 7000 members. We manage 12 conservation sites, and have 500 volunteers who work tirelessly to maintain and improve the Chilterns for the benefit of both residents and visitors alike. Over the last half century we’ve contributed well over 2,000,000 hours of volunteering effort, managed and improved several nature reserves and heritage sites, created long distance footpaths and cycleways (including the Chiltern Way)
