This is a small place, but very dear to my heart, near where I lived for over 23 years. People are lovely, kind, friendly and welcoming.
That someone comes in from outside and behaves like this is just horrible.
Besides, in #Scotland , there is a legal #RightToRoam. If you have a moment, dear people of the #Fediverse, please sign this petition

Cancellation of Pentlands Skyline run 2023

The Pentlands 'Management Association' are scarrying on screwing down on access which has led to the 2023 run (scheduled for October) being cancelled. This comes on top of existing efforts to restrict activities in the area by the association that have been widely reported.

It's been a great few days to be a member of the Open Spaces Society. First the successful appeal to the Dartmoor ruling then the OSS Local Correspondents Conference 🙏. Proud to be a trustee of the UK’s oldest conservation charity. #OpenSpacesSociety #Dartmoor #RightToRoam #OSS @helenclayton

Wild Camping has been restored on #Dartmoor after a successful court appeal.

Let's use this as an opportunity to sort out the right to roam across England and Wales. We all need access to nature, and the closer we are to nature, the more we care about it.

HA! In your face, Alexander Darwall, you shite.

"Darwall, a hedge fund manager and Dartmoor’s sixth-largest landowner...offers pheasant shoots, deerstalking and holiday rentals on his land,"

"This case highlights the many and increasing challenges we face in trying to protect the fragile environment on Dartmoor. Our mission was to conserve this special place.". - Darwall spokesperson

Truly loathsome people.

#WildCamping allowed on #Dartmoor again after court appeal succeeds

#DartmoorNationalParkAuthority had appealed against January #HighCourt ruling that effectively outlawed the practice

If you are fortunate to live in a place where access to public land is easy and widely available, relish your good fortune.

I am living in #Texas, where 96% of land is privately held.

This is one among the reasons I'm seeking to leave the state.

Defending access rights - we have a right to swim in Scotland - parkswatchscotland

The #RighttoRoam campaign has taken a far broader approach to #AccessRights than has traditionally been the case in #England and has been building a broad campaign for a new legal right of #access on the #Scottish model.

It should be possible for everyone "to breathe fresh air, walk in the countryside, explore riverbanks & woodlands: that should not be determined at the whim of someone who happens to own the land." Spot on from Lord Chris Smith on extending #RightToRoam👇

BREAKING: Minister ‘gave Parliament false answer’ about landowner lobbying.

Exclusive: Richard Benyon claimed he had not engaged with landowner groups over public rights of way – but he had.

@Melinda I'd recommend coming to Wales too - for many, many reasons, but also because the situation here is comparable to Scotland - in fact I think it's better. Jus come to Wales anyway, it's awesome.

@Melinda Such an enormous percentage of England's land is in private hands (90%, I think). Have you read this book? It'll make you very angry but it's also very enlightening.

Labour vows to introduce Scottish-style right to roam law in England https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/may/18/labour-scottish-style-right-to-roam-law-england #righttoroam

Glad to see Labour commit to a comprehensive #RightToRoam after my Q in today’s debate on public access to nature - they can be sure that we’ll hold their feet to the fire if they end up forming the next Govt. Where Greens lead...

A real honour to catch up with the inspirational @marionshoard today after my #RightToRoam debate - she’s done more than perhaps anyone to push the issue of land onto the agenda & over 30 years has championed greater public access cogently & fearlessly 🙏 @right_2roam

Half of England is owned by just 1% of the population. 24 Dukes own 1 million acres of land. The rest of us are shut out of it. Until that changes, we can't ensure that the nature we're blessed with is able to thrive well into the future. That's why we must extend #RightToRoam.

Deep in my valley is a tree so old it makes my bones ache. There are only a handful like it in the country, and its boughs harbour some of our oldest stories.

Yet almost no-one has ever seen it. 🧵 https://t.co/Ihi8KafoHb
