As parliament debate #AccessToNature today, a personal essay. 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. 🧵

Expanding the #FreedomToRoam is one of the biggest things the government can do to increase #AccessToNature for everyone

That is why I have supported the @RamblersGB@twitter.com campaign to expand it.

As a child in the 70s I camped with the Scouts on Dartmoor. We dug latrines & gathered firewood to cook with. We encountered badgers for the first time in our lives, and saw the glory of the Milky Way in a night sky free of light pollution. Succeeding generations have been impoverished by their lack of access to such transformative experiences. #AccessToNature - including responsible wild camping - should be a human right
