Every year more and more studies reveal what has long been believed – there is a direct link between access green space and our sense of well-being. Last month a study was published in the scientific journal PNAS which found that children who grew up in greener surroundings were 55% less likely to have mental health struggles later in life. The link was sustained even when taking into account other known factors, such as socioeconomics and family history of mental health problems. Even more reason to seek out nature and green spaces near to you!
