Stopping the Government’s #AttackOnNature
We’ve been as horrified as everyone else by the new Government’s attack on nature – with Liz Truss threatening to rip up environmental regulations, create free-for-all ‘Investment Zones’ where planning rules are ‘liberalised’, and scrap much-needed reforms to farm subsidies. But we’ve also been heartened to see conservation and access groups reacting strongly to the attacks and starting to mobilise their millions of members. If you’ve not already taken the RSPB’s email action, please do so here. Better still, go meet your MP in person and tell them exactly what you think. We’re anticipating things are only going to get worse, however – so hopefully see you on the streets (and in the fields) in the near future. And on that note...
... JOIN US at the land access bloc of the Good Food, Good Farming march at 12pm in Parliament Square in London, 15th Oct!
Right to Roam is very proud to be supporting Landworkers' Alliance in their Good Food, Good Farming march next Saturday 15th Oct. We will be forming a Right to Roam/Land Access bloc so be sure to come and bring signs!
Access to land and support for small scale, ecologically-minded farmers are two sides of the same coin. The historical acts of enclosure which ploughed up the commons also tore people away from countryside access, caused environmental destruction and devastated small farming communities. Today the countryside has become home to a monoculture of corporate industrial agriculture and a landowning elite.
In our vision for free, fair and informed access to nature for all and for a New English Countryside, Right to Roam stands in solidarity with landworkers and their struggle for a more socially and environmentally just food system. We want a countryside where landworkers, ramblers, kayakers - everyone is able to enjoy nature freely and responsibly.
Love and rage,
Nadia, Jon, Guy, Harry & the rest of the Right to Roam crew x
