Utilizing British school grounds for biodiversity and environmental education
Attitudes toward the environment begin developing in childhood, which means that spending time outdoors can be a key factor in future pro-environmental behaviors. Children who spend time outdoors are more interested in and engaged with the natural world, leading to increases in students' health and motivation, interest in science, and environmental literacy, all while creating new habitats and contributing valuable data to monitor and assess biodiversity. This study looked specifically at the potential of school grounds to increase opportunities for outdoor learning in Britain.
