A green and threatened land

Welcome to a green and threatened land. My day job is as a campaign manager for the countryside lobby group, Campaign to Protect Rural England. Mostly I am active in Oxfordshire, working on campaigns like Warneford Meadow, Radley Lakes and the Upper Thames Reservoir at Abingdon.

You will no doubt read about those campaigns here but the main purpose of this blog is to take a sideways look at environmental issues. Working in and for the countryside tends to give a different perspective on the environmental issues of the day, and that it what I will be writing about here.

This is not a CPRE blog, its personal. But undoubtedly my day job will spill over into this column. The countryside is worth fighting for and there enough people longing to destroy it!
