Happy birthday to THE CPRE

THE COUNTRYSIDE CHARITY, OR THE CAMPAIGN TO PROTECT RURAL ENGLAND AS IT WAS ONCE KNOWN, HAS BEEN FIGHTING THE COUNTRYSIDE’S CORNER FOR NEARLY A CENTURY. FOUNDED ON 7 DECEMBER 1926 TO LIMIT URBAN SPRAWL, IT NOW HAS BRANCHES AROUND THE COUNTRY. CURRENT CAMPAIGNS INCLUDE INITIATIVES TO FIGHT CLIMATE CHANGE (SUCH AS TREE PLANTING) AND STRATEGIES TO SUPPORT SUSTAINABLE RURAL PUBLIC TRANSPORT (CPRE.ORG.UK).
