Our vision is to inspire and enrich communities and enhance local environments.
We work with communities to provide practical habitat management in Bucks and the wider Chilterns. We manage 13 nature reserves for Wycombe District Council and help a range of conservation and local authority partners with habitat management in their woodlands, chalk grassland, commons, ponds and chalk streams. To do this, we rely on the help of volunteers – people of all ages, abilities and backgrounds as well as community organisations, charities, social enterprises, schools, colleges and other partners. 
We offer a variety of education and training opportunities to individuals and organisations to help make a difference. With a particular focus on young people, we aim to help those either out of work, transitioning to work or still in full time education. We also offer work experience placements to students in Year 10 and 11. 
We also offer popular ‘Be a Ranger’ day team building sessions through to our corporate supporter or sponsorship packages, where businesses of all sizes can become involved with this important conservation work. 
‘Be a Ranger’ team building sessions offer businesses the chance to make a real difference to the environment by working at one of the many fantastic nature reserves across The Chilterns. Join our expert rangers who have over 30 years’ experience in conservation and over five years expertise in running outdoor team building sessions. This is an opportunity not only to enjoy the Chilterns’ countryside and its fascinating wildlife but also a day of exercise, fresh air and for many, a life-enhancing experience.
Businesses and their staff get the chance to be hands-on with a range of tasks and create homes for birds, butterflies and wildflowers. You can choose to help a specific site, habitat type or even a specific species, such as butterflies – let us know and we can make it happen.
