The pandemic year: reflections on the green shoots of hope
As we hear what lockdowns lie ahead for us, we reflect – and look ahead.
For a thriving countryside that benefits everyone
Join us
We are the countryside charity
We’re passionate about making the countryside a better place for everyone to live, work and enjoy.
Our vision
Lots to like in the government's new roadmap for farming.
✔️ emphasis on restoring nature
✔️ recovery of ... degraded soils prioritised
✔️ recognition climate crisis is an existential threat.
But they need to get delivery and detail of the new policy right.

Strong words from Simon Jenkins on what he calls 'Boris Johnson's "mutant" planning algorithm'.
We agree the ... government's new plans could pose a huge risk to the countryside and the communities living and working within it.

Good read on the ‘green industrial revolution’ in today's @TheSundayTimes
More AONBs👍
But we need variety and ... the government needs to make sure they are truly protected areas.

Our take on today's #SpendingReview:
When care workers are priced out of 9 in 10 rural areas and millions live in ... transport deserts, rural communities aren't getting a fair share.
It's time to supercharge spending to level up against rural disadvantage.
