Regardless of the outcome in the Supreme Court this autumn, this will likely be the definitive zonation going forward.

🧵So, let’s take a look at what’s GONE and what's NEW.

Delighted to share my exhibition poster for 'Wild Campers' documenting the wild camping campaign The Stars are for Everyone at Southcombe Barn Gallery 11th-25th May✨

But they've suffered a real-terms cut of 40 per cent over the past decade 📉

Rights of way, footpaths and visitor centres are under threat 👇

Peatland restoration is a complex, expensive and hugely varied challenge. And it's one we''re rising to. Thanks for all your support here as we work to restore degraded and drying peatland across Dartmoor, Exmoor and Cornwall.

MoorBoots is up and running and enabling young people of all backgrounds to access Dartmoor National Park right now.
Updates from the ground to follow, it was a wet weekend! #moorboots
