The Last Chalk
Big Chalk is a huge project playing a vital role in nature's recovery, covering 20% of England - including some of the Nature Calling hub locations. Matt Rosier, the commissioned artist for the Chilterns National Landscape, has written a blog for the Big Chalk website about the process of creating his project, Luton Henge.
Chalk and limestone landscapes are more than just habitats. They are living spaces where nature, culture, and community come together. Luton Henge, created by artist Matt Rosier, perfectly embodies that vision. Recognised as an approved Big Chalk project, it celebrates shared heritage, sparks connection, and inspires action for nature’s recovery.
