This country lets people walk, camp, swim, boat and pick berries on private land: Here’s how its unusual ‘Every Person’s Right’ works

Finland has an unusual approach to private land, allowing people to walk through forests, camp temporarily, swim, boat and pick wild berries and mushrooms even when the land belongs to someone else. Known as “Every Person’s Right”, the long-standing principle gives people broad access to nature without requiring landowner permission or an entry fee.
