On Saturday 14th July we will be holding the first two of our four "Meet and Greet" sessions for the Chilterns AONB 'Beacons of the Past' Hillforts Project, 

The Project

Beacons of the Past is a 3.5 year, part Heritage Lottery Funded project investigating the Hillforts and other prehistoric archaeology of the Chilterns AONB. We will be utilising a technique called LiDAR, using a plane-flown laser to build up a highly accurate model of the Chilterns Landscape, showing us all the humps and bumps of archaeological sites, even underneath woodland. Our aims are to learn a great deal more about the hillforts of the region, to offer loads of activities and training to the public, and to facilitate increased protection for these monuments going forwards.

Getting involved

Throughout the project there will be numerous ways that everyone can get involved. This will range from volunteer days conducting archaeological and ecological works at sites around the AONB, workshops on a range of archaeological and technical topics so you can pick up some new skills, and, most excitingly of all, we will be making our LiDAR available through an online portal so you can help us discover and map new archaeological sites, and then get out into the field to check them in person.

Meet and Greets

All of these activities are a little bit down the line, but our very first events of the project are just around the corner. We will be holding four “Meet and Greet” sessions, at different locations in the region, so that we can tell you a bit more about our project, and so that you can come and ask Wendy Morrison, the Project Manager, and myself, Ed Peveler, the Landscape Heritage Officer, any questions that you might have. There will also be tea and cake, and plenty of time for mingling.
