If you have a favourite green space in Cheshire, CPRE Cheshire would like to
hear from you – and if you send in a photo to or write a short article, you
could see your words or pictures in print!
Alongside its annual writing competition, the charity is running a photography
competition for the first time this year, and the aim of both is to encourage
people to think about the green spaces that they value, and how they would feel
if those green spaces were under threat from development.
Becca Nelson, Press & Membership officer for the charity, commented “CPRE
exists to fight for our countryside – and we’re fortunate in Cheshire to
have so many fantastic rural spots worth protecting! We want to hear from
Cheshire residents about the place that’s most important to them.
It doesn’t need to be open countryside - we’re just as interested to hear
about urban ‘breathing spaces’ – and we want to know what it is that they
love about it. Send us an article (250 words maximum please!) or photo, along
with a brief summary of what makes the place in the photo special to you.”
The competition is open to adults and children - you have until 16th October to
enter your photos, and until the 31st of the same month to enter the writing
competition. We welcome entries from schools and adult education writing groups.
