Swampy Swampy Daniel Hooper (born 1973), better known as Swampy, is an environmental activist, characterised as an environmental protester or eco-warrior, from the United Kingdom. He was active in a variety of environmental protests including that in Fairmile, Devon, against the expansion of the A30 road in 1996. Hooper became a nationally known figure in 1996 after spending a week in a complex series of tunnels dug in the path of a new extension to the A30 road in Fairmile, Devon, resisting attempts at eviction by police. Several people took part in the protest, but Swampy was the last one evicted.
