About CPRE

CPRE, the Campaign to Protect Rural England, is a leading charity dedicated to safeguarding the countryside and promoting sustainable development across England. Established in 1926, CPRE has been at the forefront of advocating for rural communities, ensuring that their voices are heard in planning and environmental matters.

Our core mission is to protect the beauty and character of the English countryside while promoting its sustainable use. We work tirelessly to influence government policies, engage with local communities, and raise awareness about the importance of preserving our natural heritage.

• Advocacy: CPRE actively campaigns for better planning policies that prioritise the environment and rural communities.
• Community Engagement: We empower local groups to take action in their areas, providing resources and support for grassroots initiatives.
• Research and Education: Our research informs policy decisions and educates the public on the value of rural landscapes.

With a network of local branches, CPRE connects individuals who share a passion for protecting the countryside. We believe that everyone has a role to play in preserving our rural spaces for future generations.

Join us in our mission to ensure that the countryside remains a vibrant and cherished part of England’s identity. Together, we can make a difference and create a sustainable future for all.
