Unlike many environmental charities, CPRE has no vested interests – we own no land, rely solely on donations and grants, and are politically independent. 

We’re an environmental charity, with over 200 local groups, a branch in every county and 55,000 members, and supporters – including more than 2,000 affiliated parish councils.

CPRENY, a registered charity managed planning issues across the 3500 square miles of North Yorkshire.  In many local authority areas we have dedicated volunteers and/or local planning wardens who alert the Branch to areas which require our support.
