What is Thames Chase?



Conserving and Enhancing the Natural Environment

In addition to woodlands, other habitats such as meadows, grasslands, wetlands, river valleys, commons and hedges are all essential parts of the Community Forest. These are being conserved, enhanced, or even created, to improve both the landscape and the biodiversity of Thames Chase. For example, over 37km (23 miles) of hedgerows have been created or improved since 1990.
