The Wildlife Trusts are launching a campaign today to spread the message about the positive impact that nature has on children.
The Wildlife Trusts are launching a campaign today to spread the message about the positive impact that wildlife has on children, following a YouGov poll, commissioned by The Wildlife Trusts, that suggests over a quarter of children aged 8-15 have never played outside by themselves.
Sima Kotecha has been investigating the benefits for children of a natural environment, and Lucy Mcrobert, The Wildlife Trusts’ campaigns manager, spoke on the programme about their work.
