River Chess Smarter Water Catchment

Our Chess Smarter Water Catchment project is tackling the issues that face the river and its catchment through partnership working.

The Chess Smarter Water Catchment project started in 2021 with the vision of making the River Chess catchment a jewel in the heart of the Chilterns landscape. Work is well underway to make this happen, protecting landscapes, enhancing habitats and improving water quality and flow. But there is plenty more to do over the 10-year term of the project.
