Whether it's going for walks in green spaces, heading to the beach or the park, a new survey suggests 76% of children age seven to 14 want to spend more time in nature.
The survey carried out by the National Trust and First News also found over half (56%) of children want better access to nature.

According to the survey, nearly two-thirds of parents (63%) only take their children to green space once a week or less.
After Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced plans in January 2023 for everyone to live within 15 minutes' walk of green space or water as part of wider plans to restore nature, the National Trust says it want the government to do more to make this happen.
In response, A spokesperson for the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs said: "We are creating more opportunities for people to access nature and spend time outdoors in our countryside...
"This is especially important for children, and so we have put in £2.5 million specifically to help young people to spend time in nature."
