We need a guaranteed hourly bus service for every community.
Great to see @WomensInstitute calling for 'long-term funding for local authorities to guarantee a minimum frequency of services' to help make this a reality 👏 👏
Today we've launched a new report, 'A New Route for Local Bus Services', as part of our Get on Board campaign which calls on both local and national Governments to take action to enable an adequate provision of services. 1/2
Download the report 👉 https://www.thewi.org.uk/nfwi-report-into-local-bus-services
We have an exciting new project management role to deliver three fully-funded pilot projects working with our local groups.
👉 Rural heritage project funded by @HeritageFundUK
👉 Hedgerow project
👉 Community renewable energy project
Closing date 5 May. https://www.cpre.org.uk/jobs/project-management-officer-fixed-term-contract-until-end-may-2022/

'I'm now the only one roughly my age left in the village'

@CPRE Dockey Wood, Buckinghamshire.
Extremely sad news and a huge loss! We only met Lord Judd three weeks ago and despite being in his late 80s, was still a very active and effective Parliamentarian - and a fantastic advocate for @CPRE https://twitter.com/FriendsofLakes/status/1384076200759283717
Friends of the Lake District is saddened to hear of the death of Lord Judd. Frank Judd was a tireless campaigner on behalf of the Lake District’s landscapes and a wholehearted supporter of our work who will be sorely missed. We send our deepest condolences to Frank’s wife Chris.

We must restore and protect our peatlands!
UK’s woodlands and peatlands ‘crucial’ to reaching net zero goal, report says
Researchers examining British ecosystems say conservation essential to realising 2050 carbon target

We’re so excited to announce The UK’s first ever National Hedgerow Week will take place Saturday 29 May – Sunday 6 June 2021.
Hedgerows are wonderful wildlife habitats, provide uplifting greenery and can even help tackle climate change. 💚
Save the dates! 📅
What rights to we have to access the countryside? And, should we have a right to roam?
We discuss these questions and more in the latest episode of the Countryside Voices podcast, with campaigner and author @guyshrubsole.
