A CPRE campaign explores the spaces on the edges of towns and cities.
As part of the campaign they also had a special garden at this week's RHS Chelsea Flower Show.
The countryside on the edges of our towns and cities is some of the most pressured and overlooked land in England – facing neglect, lack of investment, unsustainable development and too little protection.
Yet these fields, farms, paths, woods and scrublands hold extraordinary potential.
Our “edgelands” could play a vital role in tackling the nature and climate crises – supporting wildlife, sustaining local food systems, shielding communities from flooding and heat, and offering millions of people access to nature close to home.
