UK Gov to Outlaw Foraging

UK Gov to Outlaw Foraging

Posted by Helen Crosbie on 24th Aug 2020

I received some disturbing news today, and whilst I really don't like to bring politics into my spiritual work, I have an important message to pass along to you today.

As somebody who is big fan of foraging, making my own healthy natural foods and herbal remedies, I was very disturbed to learn the following from Robin Harford of www.eatweeds.co.uk today:

The government is about to criminalise trespass. In the past it has only been a civil offense.

Under the 1968 Theft Act, citizens have been exempt from being criminalised if they enter private land to forage above ground fruits, flowers, foliage and fungi.

This will no longer be the case.

The change in the law that is about to happen will remove yet another civil liberty, at a time when we are ever more being bagged and tagged by the state.

It will have enormous consequences to foraging and the right to feed ourselves from the land.

Do share this with as many people as you can. We need another 30,000 signatures to get this considered for debate in Parliament.

If you are a UK citizen you can sign this petition, and I would humbly ask that you do so before all our civil liberties are stripped away from us, as the state becomes ever more totalitarian under the guise of keeping us safe.
