Are you part of a community land-based campaign in the South West of England? Do you need some GIANT support for your campaign to amplify your message?

Big love and thanks to the folk.preservation.society for bringing us all together and keeping the spirit …
WE DID IT! The legal right to wild camp on Dartmoor has been upheld by the Supreme Court. Judges unanimously rejected an appeal by landowners Alexander and Diana Darwall who said people should not be able to camp without permission from landowners. Pockets well and truly… ripped out! Greatest gratitude to The Dartmoor National Park …
