Stop councils from banning foraging of blackberries and other wild fruit!

To stop the process of banning foraging for wild growing foods such as blackberries.

Why is this important?

Foraging has been a part of life since humans can remember. The right to forage is not something that should be taken away. Picking wild berries has been a past time of many families when out for a stroll. Taking this right away is ridiculous!
