The Springline Project
Bringing wildlife, art, and citizen science to our community!
The Springline Project is open to all and welcomes people from Cholsey, The Astons, and the surrounding areas to connect with local wildlife. Led by expert ecologists, our events throughout spring, summer, and autumn will provide opportunities to explore and learn about nature. Participants will also gain hands-on experience in surveying wildlife using citizen science methods, helping to contribute valuable data throughout the project.
In addition, two talented local artists will create lasting artwork inspired by the project, leaving a meaningful legacy for the community. The final artwork, along with the findings gathered over the year, will be unveiled at a special event in late 2025, where everyone is warmly invited to celebrate with us. No matter your age, knowledge, or experience, there’s something for everyone in this unique project that brings creativity and science together.
The Springline Project was made possible with support from the Mend the Gap programme*.

*The Springline Project has been supported by the Mend the Gap programme. The vision of the Mend the Gap programme is that the outstanding national landscape that links the Chilterns and the North Wessex Downs will be enhanced and enriched for wildlife, residents, and visitors, helping to heal and soften the scars left by electrification of the Great Western main line.
