People in the UK: why do you love spending time in nature?

As summer comes and our gardens, parks and woodlands burst into life, many of us are heading outdoors.

Scientific evidence shows how vitally important greenery and the natural world are for our mental and physical wellbeing.

But access to outdoor space is limited for many who need it most, including a significant proportion of young people.

We would like to hear from people about why they love being outside in nature. Do you have a favourite memory of being in the great outdoors from your childhood, or more recently, to share? Why do you think it is so important for people to spend time outdoors?
