A new Countryside Code has been launched seeking to allow people of all ages and backgrounds to enjoy the health and well-being benefits that nature offers.
Launched by Natural England and Natural Resources Wales, to coincide with the 70th anniversary of the creation of the founding booklet, the revised code will help people enjoy countryside in a safe and respectful way.
Changes include advice on creating a welcoming environment; clearer rules to underline the importance of clearing away dog poo; staying on footpaths; and not feeding livestock. It also provides advice on how to seek permissions for activities such as wild swimming.
Evidence from Natural England shows the importance of nature to people’s health and well-being, with 85 per cent of people surveyed saying that being in nature makes them happy.
Tony Juniper, chair of Natural England, said: “The Countryside Code has been providing an excellent guide for people on how to get out and enjoy the outdoors safely for over 70 years. With more people than ever before seeking solace in nature, this refresh could not come at a more crucial time. We want everyone to be aware of the Code, so people of all ages and backgrounds can enjoy the invaluable health and well-being benefits that nature offers, while giving it the respect it deserves.”
