Research carried out by Kings College London: Learning in the natural environment (LINE) affords direct benefits as diverse as educational, health and psychological and indirect benefits ranging from social to financial. Yet, despite increasingly robust evidence of these benefits, many children are losing their connection with nature.
This report aims to broaden and deepen our understanding of the nature of the benefits to learning in natural environments. It was commissioned by Natural England on behalf of the Natural Connections project Management Group. This paper complements another document, ‘Beyond barriers to learning outside the classroom in natural environments’, again commissioned by Natural England and published in December 2010.
