Get Involved

Whether you already organise activities in the Pang catchment or would like to help us create new opportunities for people to get involved, we’d love to hear from you

Our Engagement, Outreach & Education Working Group is currently developing a programme of new activities and resources to improve communication about chalk streams. This includes training and supporting local groups who provide environmental education in the catchment to help more people to get involved in learning about and caring for their chalk streams.

We’d love to hear your ideas too, so please get in touch if there is something you’d like to see.
