Background

I ask the Government and Parliament to create a legal framework that allows responsible wild camping across England

Additional details

I want the Government to allow wild camping in England because it would give everyone the chance to experience the outdoors, explore forests and hills safely, and learn important skills like bushcraft, self-reliance, and caring for the environment. Right now, most areas are off-limits, which prevents people of all ages from connecting with nature, enjoying small, controlled campfires or taking part in outdoor activities responsibly. Scotland and other countries show that this can be done safely
