We are people who care passionately about our countryside and campaign for it to be protected and enhanced for the benefit of everyone.

Welcome to CPRE East of England's web site. We are part of the Campaign to Protect Rural England, a national charity (reg. no. 1089685).

The six branches of CPRE in the East are Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Norfolk, and Suffolk. They work together to deal with regional policy issues and campaigns. Their aim is to protect the countryside from the various threats to it particularly at regional level. They work collectively to influence regional decision-making processes.

CPRE have developed a new website to help people with planning problems.

Regional people are listed on About Us. Because of their specialist knowledge, Branch Officers may take the lead on issues with regional significance. If you have a particular expertise, such as planning, renewable energy, agriculture or rural issues, we are always looking for people with people willing to offer their services. See the Support page.

Purpose

The purpose of this site is to keep you up-to-date with what is happening and what we are doing at a regional level; and to provide you with regional information to assist in protecting the East of England's countryside at a more local level.

Norfolk are arranging a series of open days relating to Green Buildings - see News and Events

Cut your Carbon is an exciting regional initiative, led by the East of England Development Agency (EEDA), with the goal of helping communities respond to climate change by reducing their carbon emissions.

Groups taking part will be able to:
•   measure their carbon footprint online
•   take action to become more energy efficient
•   seek up to £200,000 for carbon cutting projects in the £2.5 million funding competition

EEDA is looking for people in the East of England who have the passion and drive to encourage others to join them in tackling climate change. If that sounds like you, there is lots of practical support available to help you and your community become low carbon heroes!
