As parliament debate #AccessToNature today, a personal essay.

Yet almost no-one has ever seen it. 🧵
Parliament is debating #AccessToNature today. Let's remember that this has never been granted without a fight against those who think they own the land, and the repressive state that represents them.
#AccessToNature is a right and shouldn’t be controlled by the rich elite. A great day up in #Dartmoor 🏕 #RightToRoam

I was at Clumber Park, National Trust this afternoon for the #accesstonature youth day with National Trust and the YMCA England & Wales , to talk about my work, and sell a few books. It turned in to a lovely little impromptu workshop in the woods.
I kicked off #NeurodiversityCelebrationWeek by attending the first session of #AccessToNature , a six session partnership led by the Barnwood Trust and the Gloucestershire Local Nature Partnership. Look forward to thinking more about Equity, Diversity and Inclusion in my research
