For thriving countryside and green spaces that benefit everyone

"The reason we've got a beautiful, beautiful green belt around this city is down to Ethel Haythornthwaite" - our chief executive Tomo Thompson on the legacy of our charity's founder. We're now fundraising to remember her.

Hedgerows are the humble heroes of our countryside: great for the climate, nature and people 🌍 🌻 🙆

That’s why we want to see more hedgerows across the countryside.

Sign our petition calling on the government to stand up for hedgerows #40by50 >> https://takeaction.cpre.org.uk/page/85848/petition/1?ea.tracking.id=twitter

We've lost half our hedgerows since 1945, intensifying nature's decline and hindering the fight against climate change.

But we can turn this around.

Tell the government to start planting and restoring 1000s of miles of hedgerows every year #40by50 >> https://takeaction.cpre.org.uk/page/85848/petition/1?ea.tracking.id=twitter

It’s been heartwarming to see the outpouring of love in Withington this week, celebrating both @MarcusRashford and the wonderful diversity in our communities ❤️

Voluntary registration of land as a town or village green does not affect ownership but DOES secure strong protection from development #GrantAGreen @CPRE https://www.oss.org.uk/grant-a-green-campaign/

THREAD: Peers in the House of Lords debated the Environment Bill this week.

They agreed that we need an all-in deposit return scheme (DRS) as soon as possible, to cut litter, boost recycling and help our countryside 👇 1/6
