Make Dartmoor legal to wild camp on again

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

we would like to the government to make Dartmoor legal to wild camp on again after it was taken from us by a rich landowner that doesn’t understand what Dartmoor means to people and the Duke of Edinburgh and Ten Tors and for peoples mental health. Getting outdoors is vital for people.

we want the government or parliament to do it because we are powerless against the decision and only the government / parliament can change it. Please help us get our freedom back
