Description
As the right to roam is eroded, Caroline Lucas, MP and former leader of the Green Party, joins Ros Taylor to discuss what we can do about it. In the wake of the high court decision to support landowners over wild campers, are we being excluded from our green and pleasant land?
- “Landowners are creating an atmosphere of intimidation.”
- “In the South Downs a quarter of the land is owned privately”
- “It was found that access to green space could save the NHS £2 billion”
- “People want to step away from the footpath and feel the wildness of nature.”
