Campaign to Protect Rural England

Something special is taking shape at Park Hill, Sheffield. Our On The Edge garden is coming to life! We can't wait to see Gaia and the garden in their full glory. 💚

This week, we're heading back to 1981, and a landmark year for the countryside and farmers.

In 1981, we fought to save Halvergate Marshes in the Norfolk Broads, and our campaign helped give rise to the Environmentally Sensitive Areas Scheme, offering farmers real incentives to protect and enhance landscapes of outstanding natural, wildlife and historic value.

This campaign proved that protecting nature could be practical, not just idealistic.
