The current phase of Big Chalk development is funded by the Protected Landscapes Partnership, supported by Defra.

This funding has enabled the appointment of a dedicated programme development role, as well as communications, brand and website development and a partnership conference.

Explore the Big Chalk landscape

The Big Chalk ARCGIS Map and Dashboard is an interactive tool designed to help partners, stakeholders, and communities explore the rich natural heritage of our chalk and limestone landscapes.

It brings together key data layers — from chalk grasslands and ancient woodlands to SSSIs and chalk streams — to give you a clearer understanding of where our most important habitats lie.

With simple filtering and visual breakdowns, the dashboard allows you to explore patterns, priorities, and opportunities across the Big Chalk area.

Whether you're planning restoration work, making the case for nature, or simply learning more about these extraordinary places, this tool helps visualise and support nature recovery at scale.
