Hedgerows are the stitching in the patchwork quilt of the countryside - but hedgecraft is something of a lost art.

We spoke to hedgelayer Clive Leeke to find out why he believes hedgerows – and hedgecraft – are making a comeback. #JoinTheRegeneration https://www.cpre.org.uk/stories/crafting-the-countryside-a-hedgelayers-life/

Choosing to walk, if you can, instead of driving is great for the planet, and for our health.

Shifting just 2% of our car miles to active travel could bring health benefits worth £2.5 billion every year to the NHS by the end of the decade! #CarFreeDay2020 https://www.cpre.org.uk/opinions/what-we-love-about-walking/

We all feel better when we know we're doing our bit to regenerate the countryside that we all rely on.

Today is the #AutumnalEquinox, marking the start of autumn.

Will you miss the verdant greens of the countryside in summer? Or are you looking forward to nature's fiery autumn display? 🍁🍂

'In nature you feel stronger physically and emotionally; you feel hope that things will improve. And you feel connected to the world.'

We believe the countryside is for everyone, and everyone should have the opportunity to benefit from it.

Here we celebrate three inspirational projects making this happen for young people. #JoinTheRegeneration

Nature and the countryside are some of our best allies for tackling the #ClimateEmergency. Let's use them!

We want to see more of these:

🌳 Hedgerows and trees
👌 Restored peatlands
🚴‍♀️Green and active travel
🌽 Nature-friendly farming

Today's climate assembly report shows that the public appetite to end the UK’s contribution to the #ClimateEmergency has far outstripped government action.

The countryside has huge potential to help close this gap - but we need the government to act.

We’ve launched a new film to celebrate how our green spaces reinvent, refresh and regenerate us.

The ability to enjoy the regenerative power of nature and the countryside shouldn't be a privilege.

It should be something everyone can access.

We stand for a countryside for all. Are you with us? #JoinTheRegeneration.

Connecting with nature and the countryside nourishes us. It refreshes us. It regenerates us. It makes us feel more alive.

Now the countryside needs us to do our bit in return.
