June 2023
Dear John
In case you missed it, we recently launched a new campaign calling on the
government to unleash the potential of rooftop solar across the country - find
out more about the campaign and how you can be a part of it on our website

At CPRE, we're pleased to have enjoyed many campaigns successes and wins over
the years. Last week, we were delighted that our #40by50 hedgerow campaign
picked up first prize at The Charity Awards - scroll down to find out more.
Every year at the beginning of June, we celebrate Volunteers’ Week, and this
year has been no exception. Whether you currently volunteer for CPRE or have
done in the past, we want to thank you for all you’ve done to support our work.
Read on to find out which volunteers received an award this year!
Last month, 4,675 of you participated in Hedgelife Help Out
[[link removed]] as part of the Big Help Out to mark the King’s coronation. We’re delighted so
many of you volunteered to check in on the health of our hedges - find out more
about how you can keep involved below.
With the summer upon us, nature is busy and we're fast approaching the longest
day of the year. Read on to find out what wildlife you might be able to
encounter on walks in your local countryside or green space.

HELP US KICK START A ROOFTOP REVOLUTION
New research shows that installing solar panels on new builds, commercial
buildings and car parks can deliver at least 60% of the solar energy we need. A
rooftop-first approach to solar is a common sense solution that will help cut
carbon emissions and reduce energy bills all while protecting our precious
countryside. Support our call for a rooftop revolution by signing our petition.

daylight in parts of England such as Cornwall. Now is also the time you might be
able to spot swifts in our skies and flowers such as orchids in our green
spaces. Nature writer Alexandra Pearce-Broomhead shares more about the wildlife
you might encounter this month.
