About [Edit]
CPRW is a responsible national charity founded in 1928. Our concern with landscapes gives us an unique place among voluntary bodies in Wales. Membership is open to everyone who shares our passion for the Welsh countryside and our environment. CPRW volunteer members, supported by professional staff, help to influence and secure the implementation of public policy that meets our aims and help local communities shape the future of their areas.
What we do
We seek to influence change for the better. We promote positive solutions for the long-term future of the countryside whilst seeking to protect the best qualities of the natural and built environment. CPRW`s aim is to be a regular and respected point of reference by all authorities that set and implement relevant public policy.
What are our current themes?
• Making landscapes and the values associated with rural life in Wales important and relevant to young people. We achieve this through innovative programmes which foster a greater sense of responsibility amongst tomorrow’s decision makers. We promote landscapes as a learning environment which provides opportunities for personal development and enjoyment.
• Reconnecting people with local landscapes and helping them to appreciate their true relevance and values. Our ‘I Care for Wales – do you?’ initiative encourages local people and decision makers to be more aware of the importance and value of what surrounds them and enables them to become more involved in looking after it. By increasing public appreciation and awareness of the value of landscapes, CPRW helps to promote and celebrate the principles of the European Landscape Convention and the democratisation of landscapes throughout Wales.
• Increasing recognition of the value of an individual’s Local Sense of Place. This we achieve by encouraging our members and the general public to work with networks of organisations in their local areas and undertake small-scale community based landscape projects. Such initiatives not only maintain and enhance features of local importance but strengthens the variety of character and the individuality of different parts of rural Wales
