We know the vital benefits of spending time in nature - leading to greater relationship with and care for our wild ecosystems, so urgently in need of our attention.

However, only 8% of the UK is legally accessible to the public; Dartmoor the only place in England we can legally wild-camp under awe-inspiring night skies and witness phenomenon like the milky way. Even that right is threatened. The stars shouldn't be a privilege for the few who can access their wonder.

The stars are for everyone.
