## Resource

New research reveals a troubling drop in outdoor time for UK adults—nearly half spend less than three hours weekly in nature, down from childhood habits where two-thirds spent half their free time outside. With nature proven to slash healthcare costs and boost well-being, the government’s goal of a 15-minute green space walk for all remains out of reach for one in five households. Despite fond childhood memories of wild play, urban parks are underfunded and inaccessible, especially for low-income families. Wildlife charities are urging people to “rewild themselves” with simple steps like deep breaths in parks, while new national forests and river walks aim to reconnect everyone with nature’s healing power.
