'Lost decade for nature' as UK fails on 17 of 20 UN biodiversity targets.

We're fundamentally dependent on nature - for our economy, food and our wellbeing. We can and must do better.

Striding into the weekend like... 🚶

What better way to regenerate after a long week than spending time in the countryside? Even just 20 minutes in nature can work wonders for our wellbeing.

Where will you be exploring in Gloucestershire this weekend?

The ability to enjoy the regenerative power of nature and the countryside shouldn't be a privilege.

It should be something everyone can access.

We stand for a countryside for all. Are you with us? #JoinTheRegeneration.

In step with the seasons, we'll feel more alive.

We'll choose fresh and local, we'll help wildlife thrive.

We'll be a force for change. But it's now, or never.

Regenerate our countryside, for today, tomorrow, forever.

Connecting with nature and the countryside nourishes us. It refreshes us. It regenerates us. It makes us feel more alive.

Now the countryside needs us to do our bit in return.

We need your help to create a record of every remaining stone stile in #Gloucestershire before they are lost forever. Stone stiles are important historical landmarks as they point to where farmsteads, barns and villages, long since vanished, existed. https://www.cpreglos.org.uk/creating-a-record-of-gloucestershire-stone-stiles/
