Naked Foraging Day!

Forage Au Natural

Studies show that naturism is good for you and for mental health. Getting rid of your clothes is good for your body image. Foraging is about understanding our natural environment and reconnecting with your ancestors, and what better way than to do it au-natural.
Join us on an organised forage to celebrate this day of freedom and nature connections.

Your own Naked Forage!

Foraging can be a delightful and rewarding experience, and there's no need to rely solely on organized events. Gather a few friends who share your enthusiasm for nature and embark on your own foraging adventure! To enhance your foraging knowledge, consider joining Facebook groups like Mushroom Spotters UK where you can find assistance in identifying your finds, and always wise to cross-reference with your own guidebooks to ensure accuracy and safety. Additionally, if your foraging takes you onto private land, remember to obtain permission from the landowner to respect their property and adhere to legalities and have a read of our section below outlining the law around nudity. Happy foraging!

Nudity & The Law

Naked foraging raises intriguing questions about legality and personal freedom. This short guide aims to clarify the laws surrounding this unique way to connect with nature. Navigating the etiquette of foraging while nude may involve considerations of safety, privacy, and respect for others in the environment, but an understanding of the law is essential. With careful attention to these aspects, individuals can enjoy the liberating experience of foraging while remaining within the bounds of the law.

What you need to know about foraging naked

In the UK, the law concerning public nudity is nuanced, distinguishing between legal and illegal forms based on the conduct of the individual. Passive public nudity, such as strolling or cycling through the countryside, is generally considered acceptable and not illegal. However, any behavior deemed sexual or harassing is strictly prohibited and unacceptable in public spaces. This differentiation is essential for maintaining public order and respecting community standards. To provide further clarity and guidance on the topic, British Naturism has published specific guidelines on their website, helping individuals understand the boundaries of acceptable public nudity. It is important for practitioners and enthusiasts alike to be aware of these distinctions to safely and respectfully enjoy their lifestyle while adhering to legal norms.
