8 SUPPORTING INFORMATION Chalk Cherries and Chairs Landscape Partnership Scheme A 2.18m grant to Chalk, Cherries and Chairs the Central Chilterns Landscape Partnership Scheme has been given initial approval by the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) through its Landscape Partnership (LP) programme. Scheme Aims: 1. To restore, enhance and record wildlife habitats, landscape features and cultural heritage of the Central Chilterns. 2. To create new opportunities for people to investigate and celebrate the cultural and natural heritage of the Chilterns, inspiring a wider range of people to become stewards for their local heritage. 3. To strengthen the capacity of local communities to take action for their local landscapes and natural heritage. The Stage 1 bid was drawn up by the with the support of over 30 partner organisations, the project advisory group and the Chilterns Conservation Board (CCB). If successful the Scheme will run for 5 years, comprising over 20 interrelated projects across 3 themes, with projects being designed and delivered by multiple delivery partners. Together these projects will address the scheme aims, bringing long-term and sustainable benefits to the area. The Chilterns Conservation Board will be the lead applicant and accountable body. Theme A: WILDLIFE AND LANDSCAPE Projects within this theme will contribute to more, bigger, better and more joined up spaces for wildlife. Landscape scale conservation activity will increase habitat quality and connectivity, creating more resilient wildlife populations better able to adapt to a changing landscape and climate. We will work with farmers, woodland owners and other land managers, environmental NGOs, local interest groups, communities and volunteers to improve habitat management; link and buffer existing wildlife habitat and create wildlife rich corridors and stepping stones. Habitats of particular interest include species-rich grassland, arable margins, woods, hedgerows and wetland/ riparian habitats. Under this theme we will also identify, record and conserve characteristic landscape elements including ancient woodlands, wood pasture, traditional orchards, hedgerows, boundary features and historic route-ways. We will focus in particular on landscape features and heritage at risk, particularly those in urban fringe areas or threatened by housing and infrastructure development and climate change. Theme B: PEOPLE AND LANDSCAPE Projects in this theme will inspire a wider range of people to understand, enjoy and care about the distinctive landscapes, wildlife and cultural heritage of the area. We will investigate and celebrate the relationship between people and landscape, looking at how the area s natural resources have supported communities and local industries (e.g.

9 cherry orchards, wood based industries, extractive industries, water based industries) and how people have helped to shape the landscape. Projects will promote a stronger sense of place, help people relate to today s landscape and break down barriers preventing people from engaging with the countryside. Theme C: COMMUNITY AND LANDSCAPE Projects in this theme will empower local communities to look after special places and landscapes by engaging effectively with the planning system, catalysing local volunteering and caring for local green space. Projects will provide mentoring and support for local people to champion and lead community action to care for, protect and raise awareness of local heritage. Development of the Stage 2 Bid HLF have approved a Development Grant which will allow the CCB to employ a Development Manager and Development Officer to work up the detailed projects, and submit the Stage 2 bid. A Project Advisory Group will be established to oversee the development of the Stage 2 bid. THE CHILTERNS AONB AND CONSERVATION BOARD 1. The Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty was designated in 1965 and covers 833sq.kms, stretching from Goring on Thames in Oxfordshire, across Buckinghamshire and Bedfordshire to the outskirts of Hitchin in Hertfordshire. It is an area noted for its beech woods, chalk downs, chalk streams, and brick and flint architecture. The area receives 55 million leisure visits per year, making the Chilterns one of the most popular areas for walking in Europe. 2. The Chilterns Conservation Board was established by Parliamentary Order in It is one of only two Conservation Boards (the other being for the Cotswolds) set up under the Countryside and Rights of Way (CRoW) Act 2000 which enables the establishment of independent statutory bodies to manage AONBs. 3. The Board has two statutory purposes: to conserve and enhance the natural beauty of the AONB and to increase the understanding and enjoyment of the special qualities of the AONB. In fulfilling these purposes, the board has a duty to seek to foster the economic and social well-being of local communities within the AONB. 4. There are 27 members of the Board and a small staff team based in Chinnor in South Oxfordshire. 5. For more information see
