Our vision
Great report from @NEF which supports our work on #affordablehousing and illustrates why we need stronger policies to increase delivery and supply of affordable and #socialhousing in rural areas👏🏘️⬇️
Why is #SocialHousing at risk from rising build costs and planning reform, and what should we do about it? My new report for @NEF today makes the case for affordable land for #affordablehousing - the only way out of this mess!

The new #SustainableFarmingIncentive is a positive step forward and sets a vital direction of travel 👏
However, we need to ensure farmers have the right support to improve the #biodiversity of their land and remain in business.

Where do conkers come from?
Conkers come from Horse Chestnut trees, they are the very essence of autumn. This tree can live for up to 300 years. Its conkers sit inside a spiky green shell, before falling to the ground in autumn.

Out on a walk in countryside or town, we often use trees either consciously or subconsciously to find our trail. But which tree is which? 🌳 🤔
Here’s our spotter’s guide to wintry trees and how to identify them… 👇
#NationalTreeWeek
On a winter walk: following the tree trail - CPRE
Take time to appreciate the trees on a winter walk and look for clues to identify them, even after the leaves have dropped.

We want to see well-designed buildings that serve both #climate and people 🌎
National policy needs to be strengthened so that councils can refuse planning applications when they threaten the environment.

Our work to protect, enhance and promote the countryside would not be possible without your support 💚
Today on #GivingTuesday, why not consider a monthly donation to help us ensure we have a thriving countryside today and for the generations to come 👉 https://donate.cpre.org.uk/page/94955/donate/1?ea.tracking.id=twitter-share
An army of unsung heroes from so many organisations, keeping the @peakdistrict countryside safe and accessible for us all through the freak weather over the weekend. We’d like to add our thanks too. https://twitter.com/peakdistrict/status/1465580362202062848
A big thank you 🙏 to our rangers and volunteers who've been helping to clean up after the storm at the weekend.
Just one example, this fallen tree on the Thornhill Trial was cleared quickly and safely by our Countryside Maintenance Team! 👏

Trees are not only the longest living organisms on earth but also help tackle the climate crisis by transforming carbon from the atmosphere into oxygen.
This is why they’re often called the ‘lungs of the world’ 💚
