Always good when our research into the benefits of greenspace lets us spend the afternoon there! A fun (and useful!) afternoon learning about what people like about greenspace, and how we can use Lego to create it @HuttonSEGS

Government have promised access to nature for everyone within a 15 minute walk, but have no plan for delivery. The Nature for Everyone campaign calls for a duty to reduce health inequalities through policies to improve access to nature in local development plans. @QUENCHNetwork

Every household in England ‘to be within 15 minutes of green space or water’ - how might the quality of that green or blue space matter? We need more evidence on the links between environmental quality & health https://t.co/7WEsMbgJZT

[Natural Environment Research Council @NERCscience]

If you have a novel idea for engaging the public with environmental science, our Growing Roots programme can help you develop it.

You don't have to be a researcher: PhD students, public engagement professionals and community groups can apply too!
