Is Nature Deficit Disorder damaging Britain's children?

3038

Is modern living resulting in more people becoming disconnected from green spaces and the natural world, at the expense of our health and well-being?
Most concern is centred around children, who - say campaigners - are missing out on opportunities afforded to previous generations, ones as simple as climbing trees or getting their knees dirty. UK children are losing contact with nature at a "dramatic" rate, and their health and education are suffering, a National Trust report says.  A 2009 report by Natural England found that only 10% of children played in woodland, compared with 40% of their parents' generation. In an increasingly urbanised, electronic-based, risk-adverse world, the adults of the future are displaying the symptoms of "nature-deficit disorder".
