[[link removed]]CAMPAIGNS UPDATE
May 2024
Dear John
It's been an exciting week of updates.
Firstly, we’re delighted and honoured that His Majesty, The King has announced
his patronage of CPRE, the countryside charity.
The King has shown his love for the countryside for many years and has dedicated
more than 50 years to championing the UK’s response to the nature and climate
crises. Find out more below.
Secondly, this week we celebrated National Hedgerow Week with brand-new research
detailing which areas of England would benefit the most from new or restored
hedgerows.
Based on data from the Organic Research Centre, eight areas have been identified
for hedgerow creation and restoration – scroll down to find out more.

CPRE IS DELIGHTED TO HAVE PATRONAGE OF HIS MAJESTY, THE KING
CPRE has held Royal patronage since we were founded in 1926 and The King will be
the second monarch to serve as patron following his mother, Queen Elizabeth II.
We were deeply honoured to have Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II as our patron
throughout her long reign. This makes the news of The King’s decision to take on
the patronage of the CPRE all the more poignant.

THE NORTH WOULD BENEFIT THE MOST FROM THE CREATION OF NEW HEDGEROWS
Our new report out this week reveals that seven out of the eight areas with the
highest hedgerow priority scores for hedgerow action are in the northern half of
the country. We’re calling on the government to target these areas to help
deliver its commitment to create or restore 30,000 miles of hedgerow by 2037 -

OUR COUNTRYSIDE NEXT DOOR: YOUR EXPERIENCES

vital point of access to nature, which we all know is hugely important for our
mental and physical wellbeing. We recently asked people to share their
experiences of the Green Belt or their countryside next door with us - have a
read of their first-hand accounts below.
