Evidence of younger people have decreased their time with nature
- A study has shown that the restrictions on time in outdoor parks at the beginning of the pandemic took a toll on young people’s mental wellbeing.
- A second study has also shown that as young people’s outdoor activity participation decreased during the pandemic, their connection to nature decreased as well.
- Researchers say this is part of a growing body of evidence outlining the role of outdoor activities in the mental health of children and young adults.
- It’s important to find new ways to communicate the benefits of parks, to fuel healthier lifestyles.
