Local greenspaces important for children of all ages and backgrounds

This press release from Natural England (5 March 2019) shares new data which finds that 70% of all children in England under the age of 16, and 64% of young people aged 16-24 are said to be spending time outside at least once a week. However, there are still clear inequalities with children living in lower income areas being less likely to visit the natural environment compared with those living in areas of higher income.
