From the wide, open rolling downs of West Berkshire to the more intimate landscape of chalk grasslands and beech woodlands in the Chilterns, and from the flower-rich meadows of the upper Thames to the heathland gravels of the London Basin; English Nature�s Thames and Chilterns Team works in a rich and varied landscape with considerable wildlife interest.
The Team has eight National Nature Reserves in its patch as well as having the original English population of introduced red kites near Stockenchurch. With major communications routes crossing the area this heartland of Southern England is under considerable pressure for housing, industry and recreation and it is part of the Team�s role to balance the needs of wildlife with these other pressures on the countryside.
