Charities and Campaigning

http://www.cpre.org.uk/

06/10

Formerly known as the Council for the Protection of Rural England, CPRE relaunched itself and its website in 2004. Founded in 1926, CPRE describes its role as "an organisation which campaigns to protect and enhance the countryside for the benefit of all". Features of the well organised and attractive site include an up-to-date news releases section, publications catalogue, details of staff and volunteer opportunities, a useful set of downloadable policy position statements, a campaigns section, and a dedicated members' area. [GAS, 20 Jun 2006].

The aims of the Garden History Society are "to promote the study of the history of gardening, landscape gardening and horticulture in all aspects", and "to promote the protection and conservation of historic parks, gardens and designed landscapes, and to advise on their restoration." The site includes the information you would expect about membership and activities, together with many other useful features such as excepts of book reviews, details of publications and an excellent page of annotated links. Recently redesigned, the site now boasts a neat and modern appearance, with a very clear and intuitive system of menus. [GAS, 19 Jun 2006].

http://www.georgiangroup.org.uk/

06/10

The Georgian Group campaigns against what it calls "the neglect, maltreatment and destruction of Georgian buildings, parks and gardens in England and Wales". The Group also seeks to promote the enjoyment and understanding of the Georgian heritage by an active programme of education and publications. The site is small but elegantly designed, with features including a list of the Group's publications and journals, information about membership, a useful page of links, and an interesting case studies section. [GAS, 28 May 2006].

Site awarded a Sapling Commendation
Founded in 1895 by three Victorian philanthropists - Miss Octavia Hill, Sir Robert Hunter and Canon Hardwicke Rawnsley - the National Trust now cares for over 248,000 hectares of countryside in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, plus almost 600 miles of coastline and more than 200 buildings and gardens of outstanding interest and importance. The Trust's website is vast - as well as details of all properties open to the public, there are sections covering (among other things) environment and conservation, holidays and travel, learning and discovery, policy and campaigns (with downloadable documents), and membership. The site also includes an excellent section of related links. The design of the site is attractive and logical, and a complete large text version is available for visually impaired users. An impressive site, awarded a Sapling Commendation. [GAS, 12 Nov 2007].

http://www.naturalburial.ca/

05/10

Launched in April 2006 and founded upon a co-operative business model that "honours conservation, sustainability and environmental and socially responsible business values", Canada's Natural Burial Co-operative is "committed to developing natural burial funeral services, products and memorials, which enhance, protect, and preserve our natural environment". By working to establish natural burial cemeteries across Canada, the Natural Burial Co-operative seeks to preserve green spaces and provide what it argues is "a dignified and environmentally responsive burial option". Providing a wealth of useful news and background information within a crisp and attractive interface, the site frames natural burial as "an environmentally sustainable funeral alternative that embraces the natural cycle of life. Rather than encouraging the unnecessary consumption of resources such as concrete vaults, metal caskets, and chemical preservation… a natural burial creates a living memorial using native trees, shrubs and plants. These living memorials then create living sanctuaries for friends and family to visit and connect with nature and each other". [GAS, 27 Aug 2006].

Site awarded a Sapling Commendation
Founded in the US in 1972, the Trust describes itself as "the only national nonprofit working exclusively to protect land for human enjoyment and well-being". According to the site, the Trust has helped protect more than 1,700 historic and natural landmarks nationwide, conserving more than 1.4 million acres of land. The Trust's website is very nicely designed, and has information about its work organised by state. Other features include details of publications, a newsroom and jobs listing. This is an information-packed site with much to interest any visitor, and is awarded a Sapling Commendation. [GAS, 28 May 2006].
