In recent years, reports commissioned by the UK Government, the National Trust and the RSPB have all highlighted a growing disconnect between the UK's young people and the natural world.

The shocking revelation, published in a separate 2016 survey, that almost three in four UK children spend less time outside than prison inmates offered further evidence of the side effects of a modern lifestyle in which most of our work and leisure time is spent in front of a computer screen.

Break down the statistics, as Natural England did in 2016, and you find that young people from BAME households visit their natural environment less often than white children or those from higher income families.

At GET OUT we believe ALL young people should have the same access to the natural world, and we are confident those with a traditionally limited experience of the environment can become some of the strongest voices for its protection.
