This new charter for the countryside describes the England CPRE wants to see in 2026, our centenary year. The Vision, produced after wide consultation, pictures a countryside in 2026 that is used and valued by all as a national asset, helping create a healthier, less stressed nation where people are in tune with the environment and aware of their impact on it.

CPRE Chief Executive, Shaun Spiers, explains how the organisation's traditional values and historic achievements have shaped our 2026 Vision. This essay argues that promoting a positive future for rural England will help change public attitudes and create a demand for policies which protect and enhance the countryside.
