Herefordshire Wildlife Trust is urging members to 'defend nature' by contacting politicians.
Jamie Audsley from Herefordshire Wildlife Trust said government reforms could damage local beauty spots
However Jamie Audsley, chief executive of Herefordshire Wildlife Trust, said the government's reforms were "dangerous" and urged supporters to write to local politicians. "[The] removing of environmental protection, making it easier to develop without due respect to wildlife and potential downgrading of support for farmers to farm in a green way, could be really damaging," he said."Local meadows, the rivers, things that are really important to the beauty of Herefordshire and our lives, our economy in terms of farming and the attraction of tourism could be under threat.
"Bureaucratic processes in the planning system do not necessarily protect the environment - by making sure we have the right regulations for our nation, we can make this happen," the spokesperson added.
