Nature Commission launches survey in Guernsey

It is hoped the survey will help the Nature Commission better understand how people interact with nature

The Nature Commission has launched the island's first People and Nature survey for Guernsey.

The survey was inviting islanders aged 16 and above to reflect on their experiences with nature, bosses said.

It was hoped it would help the Nature Commission better understand how people interacted with the natural environment, they added.

The survey covers three main areas: which places islanders visit and how often, what activities people do outdoors, and how people feel about the natural environment.

Angela Salmon, head of operations and education, said: "This is a chance for people in Guernsey to help the Nature Commission understand how nature fits into their lives.

"We'd also like to hear from people who don't spend time outdoors so we can understand the reasons why.

"The results will help guide future decisions about how we care for our environment and support islanders' wellbeing."
