The Big Chalk programme aims to build a dynamic nature recovery network that will be central to the UK’s pledge to protect 30% of land and halt the decline of nature by 2030.
Happy Valley is a proposed addition to the Surrey Hills National Landscape and there are plans to create a Green Community Hub on site. The ongoing management of the Happy Valley SSSI/NNR, coupled with meaningful engagement with a diverse range of visitors and local people, fits well with Big Chalk’s vision.
