In England, the “right to roam” movement aims to reclaim access to private and public land, as currently only 8% of the nation’s land is available to citizens. This movement, led by activist Jon Moses, seeks to establish a common “freedom to roam” similar to other countries like the Czech Republic and Norway. Around 2,500 landscapes in England are inaccessible to the public, forcing trespassing to reach them. Moses discusses the history of land ownership change in England and highlights the necessity of establishing a new relationship between people and nature to repair damaged landscapes.
