July 2023
Dear John
If there was a solution which could simultaneously protect our precious
countryside, reduce energy bills and tackle the climate emergency, would you
support it? We hope like us, your answer would be a resounding yes!
The potential of rooftop solar is vast, which is why we’re calling on the
government to commit to a target for at least 60% of the solar energy required by 2035 to be delivered through
rooftop solar

quiz and find out!
July is National Picnic Month, so another great excuse to enjoy the great
outdoors! Nature writer Alexandra Pearce-Broomhead shares about the wildlife you
might encounter while out and about in your local countryside or green space
this month - read on to find out more.

RURAL HOMELESSNESS COUNTS: CPRE JOINS NEW COALITION
Rural Housing Week took place 3-7 July and helped to shed a light on the hidden
crisis of homelessness in the countryside. Earlier this year, we launched a
report featuring research commissioned by English Rural, which revealed that
there’s been a 24% increase in rural homelessness in the past year. As part of
the Rural Homelessness Counts Coalition, we’re proud to be doing our bit to help
end rough sleeping in rural areas.

WILDLIFE TO WATCH OUT FOR IN JULY
The weather tends to be balmy in July, with the occasional heatwave giving in to
thunderstorms. Weather depending, heading out at dusk is a great opportunity to
enjoy a sunset at this time of year and catch a glimpse of a barn owl, like the
one pictured. There’s a lot happening in the natural world this month, so read
on to find out more about the wildlife you can discover.
