About The Campaign for the Protection of Rural Wales
Since 1928, CPRW has been standing up for the people and places of rural Wales and protecting our unique landscapes. From defending wild spaces from destructive development to creating sustainable rural communities, we are passionate about creating a countryside which works for everyone.
The only independent organisation standing up for rural Wales, our community-based members hold decision-makers to account and ensure that local people get their say. Every day we take action to ensure that the extraordinary beauty of our country is preserved for the next generation – and beyond.
