41 www.sandridge-pc.gov.uk SPRING 2024 A re you involved with an organisation which is looking for interesting and informative talks? If so, please contact us. We are Hertfordshire’s countryside charity, working across the county to stand up for our countryside and green spaces. Some of the things our charity works to do are: promote the bene!ts of the countryside and our natural environment to everyone, wherever they live; raise awareness of the Hertfordshire countryside as a vital space for health and wellbeing; encourage care of our chalk streams, woodlands, !elds and hedgerows to help protect landscapes and wildlife. One of the ways we do this is by o"ering a variety of interesting talks on the following topics: • Why we need to protect the countryside – CPRE Hertfordshire’s role • Exploring Rural Hertfordshire – a walk along the Hertfordshire Way • Following the Swan – a walk of discovery down the Lea Valley • A Recent History of Hertfordshire – and how CPRE continues to campaign to protect the countryside • A Tour of some Churches in Rural Hertfordshire • Countryside Close to Home – some wildlife in a Hertfordshire garden, and how to attract wildlife to any garden We can adjust the length of any talk to suit the requirements of your meeting. Many of our talks are illustrated with PowerPoint slides and our speaker can bring a projector; a screen or white wall available in your meeting place is helpful but we can provide a screen if needed. Being a charity ourselves, we do normally ask for a donation which helps to support CPRE’s work in the county. If your group has a small membership we can reduce this amount on request.
