Right to Roam

Since 2021 the Right to Roam campaign has been organising peaceful trespasses into some of the vast areas of countryside and water from which the public are currently excluded. These trespasses are led by botanists, ornithologists, astronomers, dancers, singers, citizen scientists, outdoors specialists and poets.

As we go, we follow the tried and tested access code which governs Scotland’s right of responsible access, respecting privacy, crops and nature – all while seeking to leave a positive trace and practising deep care for the natural world: a concept we call Wild Service.

Our vision is of a future countryside in which people not only enjoy the physical, mental and spiritual benefits of nature but serve as its guardians too.
