#151: CPRE: the countryside charity

The latest in a series of posts on organisations who provide resources and run projects which may be of interest to those teaching the new GCSE Natural History specification, and may well also make good visiting speakers for schools offering the new specification.

CPRE were previously known as the Campaign to Protect Rural England, but is now known as the countryside charity.

They have had a series of campaigns running for many years on the theme of protecting the countryside and raising awareness of the importance of some of the everyday elements of the countryside which people may not realise are of particular importance. These include campaigns on hedgerows, which are thereatened with removal in many locations.

In addition to their national website and policy work, they also have local groups focussing on specific local issues.

They have just released their latest report: a 2023 study on Local Green Spaces.
