The project is entering its most active phase yet — with filming underway, partnerships expanding, and the story of chalk rivers reaching a wider audience.
This year’s project activities will involve intensive planning, meetings, and filming across Hampshire, with the documentary aiming for a December release and future expansion planned across southern England in 2027.
Looking ahead to 2026–2027, this year promises to be exceptionally busy, with a series of meetings and discussions scheduled with project sponsors and collaborators in the coming weeks and months. The aim is to coordinate diaries and confirm the selection of key filming locations, ensuring all logistical details are finalised for the documentary’s production.
A significant portion of the documentary’s storyline has already been determined, providing a solid foundation for filming. However, there remains a strong desire to include as many new and exciting projects as possible throughout the spring, summer, and autumn months. This approach will allow ample time for editing, ensuring the documentary is ready for its anticipated release in December of this year.
The primary focus for this year will centre on the Hampshire region, highlighting the critical conservation work taking place there. Looking ahead, there are already plans to broaden the project’s geographical scope, with an intention to expand coverage to other areas, including freestone rivers, across the south and southwest of England in 2027. The progress and outcomes from this year will inform how this expansion unfolds.
