The Charter of the Forest inspires our future

Unlike the Magna Carta, pertaining to the rights of barons, the Charter of the Forest addressed the rights of common people; it restricted the amount of land that the king could claim for private use and restored common rights to common natural resources.

What we have in common: The Forest Charter and shared stewardship of the earth

Only by considering our earth “as a whole” and creating a decision-making and governance system that allows meaningful participation by all its inhabitants can we create a future that will be successful and allow us all to thrive and flourish.
