The Bucks Herald carried a special report on page 15 about the future of the Chilterns landscape, which was due to be the subject of a detailed study. The article quotes the Countryside Commission as saying: “The report will look at every aspect of the Chilterns and one of the interesting things will be to see what impact, if any, changes to the climate brought about by global warming have had, or could have, on this beautiful area.” Photo: Neil Shefferd
