As summer arrives and gardens, parks, and woodlands burst into life, many of us are heading outdoors to enjoy the natural world. Scientific evidence continues to show how vitally important greenery and nature are for our mental and physical wellbeing.
The Importance of Outdoor Spaces
Access to outdoor space is limited for many who need it most, including a significant proportion of young people. We would like to hear from people about why they love being outside in nature. Do you have a favourite memory of being in the great outdoors from your childhood, or more recently, to share? Why do you think it is so important for people to spend time outdoors?
