                The objective of the outdoor activity policy is to support people´s opportunities to spend time in nature and engage in outdoor recreation. The right of common access is the basis for this and nature is to be accessible for all. In addition, it is proposed that The Swedish Association for Outdoor Organisations distribute government grants to outdoor activity organisations. This is made clear in Government Bill 2009/10:238 Future outdoor recreation. The Government also intends to raise the appropriation for support to outdoor activity organisations by SEK 3 million per year in the coming budget.<br/>
