Signed by the lead author Peter Waine – just 2 copies available !!

Written by national CPRE’s former Chairman Peter Waine and Senior Communications Officer Oliver Hilliam, 22 Ideas That Saved The English Countryside is a chronicle of the once-radical ideas such as National Parks, Green Belts, and Democratic Planning that have saved so much of our countryside.

This is a wonderful book that will appeal to anyone interested in English social history and the evolution of modern-day land use planning. Among the “ideas” are Keeping Villages Alive, Rural Planning, The Right to Roam, and Saving Our Forests. Written in a story-telling style, this book is perfect for anyone who is passionate about the countryside.

’22 Ideas’ was originally published in 2016 and is now out-of-print. We are fortunate to have obtained two used copies that are in very good condition – both the hard cover book itself and the dust-jacket. Better still, our two copies are signed by Peter Waine, our current CPRE Hertfordshire Chairman and the lead author.

£15 per copy (original RRP when new was £25) plus £4 packaging and postage per total merchandise order.

As with all our merchandise, all proceeds help fund our work to protect, promote and enhance the Hertfordshire countryside for everyone’s benefit.
