Hi John

At CPRE, we believe the countryside is for everyone. We've worked to promote and enhance this mission for almost a century.

To celebrate this, we're sharing stories from people who share our passion for the countryside.

People like Victoria, who explains what the countryside means to her in our new film.

Watch and share Victoria's film on Facebook by clicking the images below.

Victoria tells us about her experience of isolation in lockdown and how walking with other black women has helped her to improve her mental health and enjoy her local area.

Victoria initially set up Footsteps to support her and her friends through a difficult time. Now, it's turned into a community.

As Victoria says in her poem: 'we are the countryside, you, me, and every fellow here.'

We couldn't agree more! 

Enjoy the film, and share it with friends and family on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

We are the countryside. Thank you for being part of it.

Follow CPRE to hear more stories like Victoria’s and to share your own.
