Britain's oldest conservation society

Our aim is to protect, increase, enhance and champion the common land, village greens, open spaces and public rights of way in England and Wales, and the public's right to enjoy them.

If you know of a blocked public path or encroachment on common land, or you want to register a 'new' green, we can help you, once you have joined the society.

As a charity we rely heavily upon membership subscriptions to fund our services. We hope you will decide to join us today!
