Places like this don’t stay protected by accident 🌿

The countryside people enjoy today exists because generations of communities, volunteers and organisations have cared enough to protect it.

At CPRE Leicestershire, we’re working to protect green spaces, restore habitats and support a healthier future for our local countryside.

🌿 Get involved with our work and help protect the places that matter.

Today is World Environment Day 🌍🌿

Protecting the environment doesn’t always start with huge global actions. Sometimes it starts locally, with protecting green spaces, restoring hedgerows, supporting biodiversity and helping communities reconnect with nature around them.

At CPRE Leicestershire, that’s exactly what we’re working towards across the county.

🌿 Whether you volunteer, campaign, partner with us or simply spend time appreciating the countryside, everyone has a role to play in protecting the environment for future generations.

Sometimes a walk, fresh air or a quieter space is enough to reset your head a little.

For many young people, access to nature and green space plays an important role in supporting wellbeing, connection and mental health, especially in a world that can often feel overwhelming and constantly switched on.

At CPRE Leicestershire, we believe protecting the countryside also means protecting spaces that people genuinely rely on.

🌿 If your organisation works with young people and would like to explore partnership or community opportunities, we’d love to hear from you.

The countryside often becomes most important to people when they realise what’s at risk of being lost.

We’re looking to work with businesses and organisations that want to support practical environmental action, community projects and the future of Leicestershire’s green spaces.

🌿 If your organisation shares those values, we’d love to hear from you.

Bees and other pollinators play a vital role in supporting biodiversity, healthy ecosystems and the landscapes we all rely on.

But habitat loss and environmental pressures continue to threaten them.

At CPRE Leicestershire, our work around hedgerow planting, biodiversity and protecting green spaces all contributes to creating healthier environments for pollinators and wildlife across the county 🐝🌿

🌿 Follow our work and get involved in helping protect local habitats.
