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

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.

That's the question we answer in our latest podcast episode, with Mya-Rose Craig, aka @BirdgirlUK, & @ieshasmall! #YouthDay

Listen here: https://www.cpre.org.uk/about-us/what-we-say-and-do/countryside-voices-podcast/

Our countryside has never mattered more. Will you help make sure it’s there for every one of us, and for generations to come?
