Time in nature can provide many benefits to young people, and can positively influence their mental health. However adolescents typically spend far less time in nature than either younger children or adults.
Our new project aims to create a safe space where small groups of adolescents can spend time in nature to connect with the natural world and each other. These meetings will also allow young people to make a positive contribution to the restoration and enhancement of remnant areas of native vegetation through plantings and other restoration works.
