Championing Gloucestershire's countryside for everyone

🚨@adamhenson_ is leading the way in green energy with the installation of rooftop solar panels at his @cotswoldfarmpark. We strongly believe in & advocate for a 'roofs first' strategy when it comes to solar arrays & we are proud to see Adam lighting the way for #Gloucestershire

"The solar is costing us four to five pence a unit, so the return on our investment is only three to four years. And we're doing the right thing." - @AdamHenson
We couldn't agree more! We are all for a solar strategy that prioritises rooftops over green fields and riverbanks 💚

August is a time of transition in our countryside and green spaces as we begin to approach autumn.🍃🍂 Now is a great time to take stock of our surroundings, noticing the long swaying grasses, colourful heather and opportunities for blackberry picking!

Today we mark World Health Day to promote physical & mental wellbeing on a global scale🌍 The idea of 'biophilia', literally translated as "love of life" suggests that humans have always been dependent on & fascinated by the natural world. It is innate in us💚

Switching to renewables is great news for a more sustainable future.💚 It's important that solar strategy prioritises residential and commercial rooftops over our country's precious countryside and brownfield sites over our green spaces. #ClimateCrisis

Council farms were set up at the end of the 19th century to provide a way into farming, but few remain today. We'd like to see better funding to help councils set up, keep or enhance these important resources that give access to the natural world. http://localwww.cpre.org.uk/explainer/county-farms-explainer/
