The re-chalking of the Cerne Abbas Giant in Dorset has begun, a decade-long restoration effort involving 17 tonnes of fresh chalk. This initiative follows a successful fundraising campaign that raised £330,000 in just two months, allowing the National Trust to acquire and protect significant surrounding lands. These areas, important for wildlife and archaeology, offer opportunities to enhance biodiversity and public access. This restoration is significant, not only for the Giant’s visibility but for connecting and preserving the rich historic landscape, thus allowing greater understanding of its historical significance. Volunteers and experts collaborate in this unique conservation effort.
