For a century, CPRE has spoken up for our countryside with people across the country and generations – from the creation of Green Belts and National Parks to protecting hedgerows, forests, dark skies and the places people cherish.
Our history is proof that when the countryside needs a voice, people step up and make change happen.
But today, the land that sustains us faces growing and unprecedented pressures – from climate change and nature loss to decisions that lead to the needless loss of countryside.
We’ve written a Letter to England because the countryside is at a crossroads – and the choices we make now will shape the land we pass on tomorrow. Our letter is a message about what’s at stake, what’s possible, and how each of us can help create a countryside that gets better every day.
'Wherever we live, we rely on the countryside for clean air, food, thriving wildlife and resilience in the face of climate change. Yet these foundations are being chipped away… There is a better way – one we’re calling for, and one everyone can be part of'
from our Letter to England
If you believe in a beautiful and resilient countryside, sign our letter and speak up for the future of the countryside.
