Dorset in focus

The Dorset Review

We’re 100! 2026 marks our centenary year, and we couldn’t be more excited! 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.

In this issue:

  • Protecting what matters since 1926
  • ‘Getting the Balance right between Dorset’s Housing, Nature and the Countryside’ Planning Conference
  • Dorset housing: targets vs needs
  • Hedgerows are at the Heart of Dorset’s Nature Recovery

What we care about

Dorset CPRE is the local branch of the CPRE – Campaign to Protect Rural England. We cover the administrative county of Dorset and our active volunteers work hard to protect, shape and enhance a beautiful, thriving countryside for everyone to value and enjoy.
