When did #nature become the luxury playground of the rich? .
When I was a kid, growing up in #Alberta, my parents had very little. I never had designer anything, I never had the latest this or that, kids didn’t beg to come to my house for my pool, nor my games room, nor my trampoline. By the time I was 10-yrs old we declared bankruptcy, but bankrupt I never felt. There was always a richness of nature surrounding everything that gave us the freedom of a modern Prince. Public lands in Canada abounded when I was growing up and I never gave any thought to the odd and seemingly unreasonable, random No Trespassing signs - nobody really minded anyway. If I saw a big open field, a handsome patch of forest or the perfect climbing rock, that sir, was mine. It was my field, my forest, my rock, my playground...at least for that afternoon it was. So much adventure could happen, so much could be imagined in those free, open spaces. It was there that I conjured up the dreams, stories and soul I would go on to occupy.
.
Today I still have the impulse to run off into wide open spaces wherever I see them, but I find they are no longer free nor open at all. Barriers and fences, tour tolls and gun-toting angry men seem to guard more and more of them. Ownership is consuming every last square inch of living, breathing nature giving me a growing feeling of being hemmed in - hemmed into that car, into that building, into that plane, or hotel room, or tour bus...into only what I can afford. My legs get itchy and my feet restless just thinking about it. Now, if I want to immerse in nature, I’m usually regulated to small, tightly controlled, designated plots of land used for one specific purpose - a park, a zipline tour, a hiking path, a crowded public beach. Either that or I have to pay the incredibly high prices to go the rarer places that are still wild. .
But what about the little kid like me who can’t afford to take their boat to a that hidden cave or fly to the remotest of places where human greed hasn’t consumed our freedom of movement? Where do those kids go to climb into the unknown, to get lost and to find themselves today? .

kasam4321 In Sweden we still have more or less constitutional rights to walk on all land, pick berries for your own use if you dont do any damage. However some people are of course taking advantage and cannot follow the simple rules. I believe that nature is for all to experience, and it does wonders for mental health and keeps you grounded. It is really sad when you hear about children playing in the woods being chased off. We need to educate children to appreciate nature so that they can take over and take care of it in the future. I really find a kindered spirit in You ❤️??

rpausm Wise thoughts! It really reminds me of my own childhood in Northern Germany. We played football, tennis all summer long and build up tree houses in the woods nearby. Today there is no wood anymore. They build up a supermarket and gas station. The tennis ground is now in private hands. It costs young kids a 100€ fee per month beeing in the club to get permission playing there. I‘m about to be a father in a few months. I wish for my kid and all the young ones they can find nature as we did. Exploring the unknown and build up their own tree houses.

ting.jin.healing It's all part of the way a world dies, but I've been saying for years: there ought to be one MASSIVE crowdfunding campaign to simply buy up all available natural spaces and simply declare them forever-wild. That's a thing. You can do that, if you own land. Of course, I'm not popular enough to kick off such a movement. It would take a number of rich and famous people who give a damn, to pull that. Like, maybe 100. Too bad there aren't 100 rich and famous in the world. Oh well. Bye bye forests ?

alishya_zs I grew up the same way in British Columbia, my father and I owner very little we moved around alot I was never in one place for a year, but I had a bike and I biked from morning to sunset, everywhere. I notice what you're saying about everything having a fence, or a price or boundary, I feel sad for it! Times have changed and I feel sad my kids don't have the same wide open we had in 70s and 80s.. but I still encourage them to dream to go and live learn and grow , see the world!

the_seamonster I can relate to this! ?Thank you for sharing. I was raised the same way, we didn’t have a lot growing up in Oahu (hard to believe but we weren’t close to middle class.) ran around barefoot everywhere. We lived in an 900 sq foot home. I never knew we considered poor. Beach was 2 blocks away, and we lived at the base of a mountain. We were free to roam and explore. It was wonderful! Sad I have to spend a fortune for my kids to experience the same!

jason.pingel Beautiful story thanks for sharing. We have lots of open spaces here in Missouri. I grew up very similar and it truly was the best childhood ever!! It made such an impact on me I had to find a place that my kids could enjoy the same childhood. We live 20 miles from nearest town and a mile from any neighbors. Lots of forests here so my kids run crazy on the horses, something I did have as a kid and have to have still today.
