Our main objectives are to conserve, protect and celebrate Hampshire's rural heartland. The Hampshire Downs and the Dever Valley are a unique resource, not only for local residents, but also for everyone who visits and enjoys the countryside. The area is also an essential feature of the county’s agricultural and tourist economy.

The Dever Society is supported by over 6,000 members, drawn both from Hampshire and throughout the UK. It is affiliated to the Campaign to Protect Rural England.

As an independent registered charity, we rely entirely on voluntary donations to continue our work. Nevertheless, ordinary membership remains free and you can join the Society using the form on this website.
