Children and Nature

Ten years ago I founded the Children and Nature Fund (CAN) which has become an important part of the Trust’s fund raising.  The fund has also been able to
connect children of all ages with wildlife and wild places through education, activities and inspiration.

We are all aware of the alarming crisis in the mental and physical health of our children which affects their sense of wonder, curiosity and even happiness. Who can deny that too much of their confused lives are spent alone indoors in a world alienated from nature?  How are these children going to grow up, scarcely aware of the amazing natural world which has been given to us all to cherish and protect.
