Reclaiming our land

with a giant game of Consequences

We are going to co-create a giant game of Consequences with people, many of whom don’t feel that our landscape belongs to them

By accessing ancient sites and crafting something inspired by the natural landscape, we will foster a sense of belonging and stewardship for our spaces. we will captivate a diverse audience and draw attention to our natural and sacred sites.

We may have forgotten the stories our landscapes tell, but together, we can rediscover and inspire new tales of care, nurture, and community.

“Access to land is important and I am fortunate to be able to access green spaces, but 92% of the countryside and 97% of rivers in England are not publicly accessible. When you add race and class into that mix, so many people are excluded from the simple pleasure of roaming freely. “
