Protect the Countryside You Love

A group of people out exploring the countryside

Become a member of CPRE North and East Yorkshire and help protect the landscapes, farmland and green spaces that make our region special.

As an independent local charity, CPRE North and East Yorkshire relies entirely on the generosity of our members and supporters to keep standing up for our region’s landscapes. We receive no government funding, meaning every planning objection, community campaign and habitat restoration project is made possible by people who love the countryside.

When you join us, you’re not just supporting a charity. You’re giving local communities across North and East Yorkshire a stronger voice and helping ensure our region remains vibrant, resilient and green for generations to come.

Defending Local Farmland

We strongly objected to gas exploration in Burniston near Scarborough and helped a community group resist a 46 hectare solar farm in Bedale, North Yorkshire.

Standing up for Green Spaces

We helped stop development on a wildflower meadow in Richmond, supported a community to reject a bottling plant to save a woodland in Harrogate and took action to protect an iconic landscape in Flamborough.

Championing a Green Future for Yorkshire

We advocate on national CPRE initiatives like Smart on Solar, petitioning our local councils to prioritise solar energy on roofs, both commercial and residential, versus sacrificing good agricultural land to solar ‘farms’.
