Herefordshire is still one of England’s more rural counties. Its beautiful countryside is dotted with historic market towns and villages and continues to support a traditional way of life. CPRE Herefordshire are working towards a Herefordshire countryside that’s rich in nature, accessible to all and playing a vital role in mitigating climate change:
Their PLAN team of volunteers advise members and non-members on planning issues and frequently comment on landscape issues to further the protection of nature, local communities and countryside character
They’ve joined up with community campaigns to tackle the pollution issues in the Wye catchment, because protecting ecosystems, rivers and soils is critical for climate change and their legacy for future generations
They support a team of over 400 Citizen Science water testers, a thriving Dark Skies project working with Herefordshire residents and local councils to reduce light pollution
Their Hedgerow Heroes project planted and restored 3.7km of hedgerows during the last planting season and hopes to do more this autumn and winter
