Tom

Chairman of Trustees

When I look at any view in Herefordshire, I see a range of endeavours at work – production and profit, recreation and relaxation, conservation, and care. I see it as the job of CPRE Herefordshire to help all these motivations respect the landscape as a whole and respect each other.

To me, Herefordshire is a beautiful landscape. Beautiful things are good for the well-being of people.  And when people like what’s around them, they look after it for future generations. My resolve is that CPRE is here to help that happen. You can join us here.

Andrew

Director and Trustee

A local planning application for over 90 acres of polytunnels adjacent to my garden made me value how well-informed objection to intrusive planning needs to have a voice across our community. CPRE Herefordshire needed trustees, members and volunteers and I had no hesitation is stepping forward.

Positive projects using citizen science has also afforded me the possibility to be part of the solutions making Herefordshire a better county.  Read Andrew’s article for CPRE about leading our Citizen Science project here.

Paul

Trustee and Executive

My involvement in working on the CPRE Herefordshire’s citizen science project began years ago.  In that time I have travelled extensively around this beautiful county helping to identify areas for our volunteers to safely test water.  I see our efforts in this work as being vital in helping to find solutions to the problems the Wye and our other rivers currently face.

More recently I have become a Trustee of the organisation and want to ensure we protect Herefordshire’s beautiful countryside in every way we can.  You can find out more about our citizen science project here.

Jenni

Administrator, Secretary and RFO

I have always felt the positive benefits of being outdoors, the love of having such awe-inspiring surroundings. However, over numerous years I have become more concerned with the need to protect our rural communities and countryside, feeling helpless to bring about change alone, I realise that we need to tackle these issues that we all face together and this is why I have joined CPRE Herefordshire.

Barbara

Volunteer and Membership Manager

My passion for our wildlife and landscape feeds into my artistic practice. I record and share the wildlife on our doorstep. Working with CPRE feels like a natural extension to my own work, just zoomed out to the wider picture. CPRE focuses on the landscape as a whole – on issues of soil and water that affect us all. It’s satisfying to see how our work makes a difference.

My interest in nature started early having been lucky enough to grow up in the Herefordshire countryside.  Becoming a part of CPRE has been brilliant.  I’ve learnt a lot about our countryside and enjoy working together to protect it.  Together we can make a difference.  You can find out all about our projects and campaigns here.

Could you join them?

We’re looking for new trustees

Being a trustee involves attending 4 online meetings a year, and our AGM if possible. You don’t need any previous board experience. Your main role would be to help make sure our work stays focused on our charity’s objectives. If you’d also like to help with our projects, that would be very welcome, but it isn’t essential.

We’re also looking for a young person, aged 18-30, to join us as a trainee trustee. It’s a great way to gain board-level experience, learn how a charity is run and help shape the future of Herefordshire’s countryside, with support from our existing trustees along the way.

If you’re interested, please get in touch by emailing Jenni at admin@cpreherefordshire.org.uk
