Centenary
In 2026, we’re celebrating 100 years of the Campaign to Protect Rural England.
On this page, you can explore our history and discover how Gloucestershire’s centenary celebrations, along with a range of local initiatives, are marking and shaping this special year.
100 years of standing up for the countryside
For a century, CPRE has helped shape the countryside we know today – from campaigning for the first Green Belts and our National
Parks to protecting hedgerows and dark skies, and stopping fracking.
Our history is proof that when the countryside needs a voice, people step up and make change happen.
