“We have a responsibility to consider all the complex processes happening in our natural spaces when we interact with them, especially where we plan to take something away. We want to ensure that, at the very least we avoid having a negative impact. Better still, we should always consider ways to give back to benefit the environment”
“There are numerous papers that have evaluated the evidence and the findings are clear; Overall mental health, self-esteem, stress resilience, depression and overall health are found to have been improved by exposure to nature. Learning settings that incorporate nature activities with accessible green spaces display significantly improved mental health outcomes in children”
