After four years of partnership working across the eastern South Downs, the Changing Chalk programme is drawing to a close leaving a lasting legacy for nature, people and heritage.

Led by the National Trust Changing Chalk brought together partners, communities, volunteers and creatives to restore rare chalk grassland, improve access to nature, and uncover and share the rich cultural heritage of the Downs.

This film reflects on that journey. Through voices from across the partnership, it explores what has been achieved, the difference it has made, and the lasting impact of working together at a landscape scale.

From nature recovery and community connection to creativity and learning, Changing Chalk has shown how people and place are deeply connected, and how that connection can inspire lasting change.

While the programme is now ending, its legacy continues through the people, partnerships and places shaped by the work.

The four-year project was supported by a £2.23 million grant from The National Lottery Heritage Fund and made possible thanks to National Lottery players. The project was also supported by players of Postcode Lottery UK and other generous supporters.
