2026 marks CPRE’s centenary and we couldn’t be more excited!

CPRE Somerset is part of the national CPRE network. CPRE’s centenary year is a milestone made possible by the dedication of our members, supporters, and communities who have stood with us to protect the countryside.

From the first Green Belts to protecting and planting hedgerows, dark skies and treasured landscapes, together we’ve stood up for our countryside – and we’re just getting started.

But first, we’re reflecting on everything we’ve achieved in our first century.

That’s why we have created this short video: 100 years in 100 seconds – watch our story unfold….
