The Chiltern Woodlands Project was started in 1989 by the Chiltern Society and is now an independent charity. Its aim is to promote and encourage the sensitive and sustainable management of Chiltern woods in order to protect the landscape of the Chilterns and maintain and enhance the biodiversity of the Chiltern Hills.

The Project promotes a sustainable woodland economy and raises awareness, understanding and enjoyment of woodlands through its regular newsletter and other publications.

Advice is available to owners of unmanaged woods and every year a number of training days are organised on a range of woodland management skills. The Project also organises events including Woods at Work which has proved a very popular way of demonstrating woodland crafts and businesses to the general public.
