Is there any research on how many people are "connected
with nature", please?
My impression is that many ARE interested in local
nature but that there are so many barriers to following that up. Those include
those like me who fail to devise involvement in a way which is
socially enjoyable, enables children to take part, encourages people to
come again, and does not demand much time or expertise.
Our most successful wildlife event was spotlighting on
golf courses at night when hundreds asked to take part. That followed a large
advertisement in the paper by the Council.
