How ironic that - to take one example, Snowdonia National Park - 2020 saw a much broader cross-section of visitors (for obvious reasons) and far more litter, fires and environmental abuse. As one exasperated ranger pointed out 'Well, you got what you wished for'.


So what did that ranger mean exactly, I wonder. Am in no way condoning dropping litter in the countryside, or on the beach, or on the pavements of our town and cities. To exclude people (a cross-section is good) from walking in the countryside because they might drop litter seems perverse. The Kinder Trespass back in 1932 fought for the right to roam - the act of walking on someone else's property is not currently a criminal act. Leaving litter should be, causing damage definitely is.
