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.
