We've got some exciting news to share 🎉
Chiltern Rangers has just submitted a planning application for The Barns, a proposed new permanent home for the team at Abbey Barn South in High Wycombe.
It's been quite a journey. Back in 2013 we were just two members of staff. Today we're a team of 16, looking after 126 sites across Buckinghamshire and the wider Chilterns, working alongside thousands of volunteers, schools and businesses every year. Our current site has served us brilliantly, but we've simply outgrown it, and we're increasingly having to turn people away who want to get involved.
The Barns will change that. It's designed to be a genuine community hub as well as our operational base, with space for workshops, teaching and local groups to work alongside us. And because it's a Chiltern Rangers project, sustainability runs through the whole design - native hedgerows, a wildlife pond, solar panels and rainwater harvesting are all part of the plan.
We're really excited about what this means for local nature and our community and we'll be sharing more as things progress. Thank you, as always, for your support.
