About us

We are CPRE, the countryside charity. We work with communities, businesses and government to ensure that our countryside and green spaces can thrive.
Our aim is to promote the beauty, tranquility and diversity of the countryside in the Peak District and South Yorkshire for everyone to enjoy now and in the future.
We work to:
- Connect people and countryside
- Promote rural life
- Empower communities
- Grow our capacity
- Tackle the climate emergency
We were established in 1924 and became a branch of CPRE in 1926.
