ARCHAEOLOGY
BUCKS
ARCHAEOLOGICAL SOCIETY
The Society (B.A.S.) was founded in 1847 and as such is one of the oldest in the country. It is the senior body in the County in the fields of Archaeology, Architecture and Local History. It has an active specialist section for Natural History. The Society also founded the County Museum and still owns the main museum buildings and a large part of its collections, although the museum is now leased and run by the County Council. The B.A.S. covers the whole of the old county of Buckinghamshire from Milton Keynes in the north, to Eton in the south.

CHESS VALLEY ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND HISTORICAL SOCIETY
The Chess Valley Archaeological and Historical Society was founded in 1964 with the aim of studying and promoting local archaeology and history. The first President was Dr Kenneth Oakley, who uncovered the Piltdown Fraud. The practical work of the Society began with the excavation of the Romano-British villa at Latimer. An account of the excavation was written up and published by the Society in 1971 and is still a standard work of reference.
BUCKS ENVIRONMENTAL RECORDS CENTRE
Buckinghamshire and Milton Keynes Environmental Records Centre (BMERC) collects information about the biodiversity and geology of Buckinghamshire and Milton Keynes. With help and support from recording groups, individuals, the Wildlife Trust, local authorities and many others we use this information to support nature conservation and raise public awareness.

CAR SHARING - BUCKS CARSHARE
Car sharing is when two or more people share a car and travel
together. Car sharing is a simple way to cut the costs of fuel and
parking, cut congestion and pollution, and cut the stress of
driving.
Car sharing is easy and flexible. Buckscarshare has been set up to provide a free matching service for all those who live, work and travel in and around Buckinghamshire. This site matches you up with potential partners. Once matched, you can choose to share as little or as often as you like, with whoever you like! Bucks Carshare has 215662 members and on average they each save £814.38 per year. What could you do with an extra £814.38?
Its free to use, find drivers and passengers on-line instantly.
If you need to travel by car to the station, car sharing is a simple way to reduce congestion and pollution as well as being an easy way to save money. This website will help you find other people making the same journeys as yourself. And don't forget, if three of you travel together, then it's free to park at any Chiltern Railways station!
