The Land is Ours is a British land rights campaign advocating access to the land, its resources, and the planning processes. The group was set up in 1995 by George Monbiot and others. Their first campaign was the occupation of the disused Wisley Airfield in Surrey by 400 people in 1995 from which there was a live broadcast on the BBC's Newsnight programme. Nearby St. George's Hill is symbolically significant as the site of a 1649 protest, when the Diggers planted vegetables on the common land there.
