CPRE East Midlands
Campaigning for the beauty, tranquillity and diversity of the countryside

CPRE East Midlands Regional Group is here!

Litter-pick in 2009

The Campaign to Protect Rural England is here to help you look after the beauty and tranquillity of our living countryside, and the wildlife habitats that make England so special. We're campaigning to keep what's best about rural life, in a living landscape, and fighting to keep rural issues high on the political agenda. Far from being po-faced NIMBYs, we also have a lot of fun doing it. 

As the manifesto commitments made by the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats continue to work their way through into law and practice, we will flag up pages on this website that may soon become out of date... and remove pages that no longer apply.

To be notified when any such changes to this website take place, just email me.
