Many of us have experienced firsthand the positive impact connecting with nature has on us and our mental and physical wellbeing. The 2023 Nature Connection Survey was an important piece of research carried out by the team behind the Sustainable People-Environment Interactions theme (SuPErInteract) of the Sustainable Waste and Communities Hub to explore this in more depth. The survey adds valuable evidence to the experience of connecting with nature, highlighting its numerous benefits, not only for the wellbeing of people, but also for the health of the planet.
