00:00Mark my words, Miss Hill, this is going to be a very big thing.

00:06In 1895, people came together with a shared belief

00:11that everyone has a right to nature, beauty and history.

00:18For 130 years, they worked to protect coastlines, forests and homes.

00:29Ensuring these places would be preserved for the benefit of all.

00:35Across generations, millions have lent their hands.

00:40From communities raising money for local spaces

00:44and famous families giving their beloved homes.

00:48To a Sheffield factory worker in 1902, who'd never seen the Lake District,

00:54he paid two shillings to help save it for others.

00:58From one hand to another, across time and space.

01:03Each place, each person, adding to the story.

01:07Our past is one of action, caring for wildlife, nature and people around us.

01:16Every hand, every heart has shaped the places and spaces people love.

01:23Today, we stand at a new crossroads where we face our greatest challenges.

01:50The power to decide our future is still in our hands.

01:55Together, we can restore nature and create places where culture and communities can thrive.
