Lizzie Bannister blogs about the Cambridgeshire countryside. She is a Trustee and volunteer at the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Branch of CPRE.
In Lizzie's own words:
As an avid horse rider, I value the countryside for its support of my hobby and my lifestyle. This includes enjoyment in National Trust places, visits to places in England and local walks. I appreciate how a healthy countryside helps to sustain me in my life and the lives of other people.
I have lived in the Fenland countryside for half of my life, including living on a smallholding with animals, surrounded by a sea of arable land.
My master's degree in Conservation Management helps to inform my knowledge and understanding of issues and aspects of the countryside.
I am passionate about ensuring the health of both people and the countryside. I believe that preserving this link can secure a great future for us all.
