Freedom to roam

Okay little one, let me explain what freedom to roam means. Remember when we went to the big park and you ran around and explored? That's a bit like freedom to roam. It's when people have the right to go and explore nature and the outdoors without being stopped or restricted.

Imagine a big forest or mountain where there are no signs saying you can't go there. People can walk, play, and explore as they please. This is what freedom to roam is all about. It's the idea that people should be able to access wild areas to enjoy nature and get exercise.

In some countries, like Sweden or Scotland, they have laws that allow people to access almost all outdoor spaces, even if they are privately owned. This means that even if someone owns a forest or field, other people can still go and explore it.

But just like how we have to be careful and not go too far from our parents, freedom to roam comes with responsibility. People who go exploring need to be respectful of the environment and other people's property. They need to make sure they don't harm plants or animals and clean up after themselves.

Overall, freedom to roam means that people should have the chance to enjoy and explore nature, but they also have a responsibility to be good stewards of the environment.
