Awareness that spending time in nature is good for us, at any age, is a no-brainer. But the benefits for children may still surprise you. It’s not just their mood or physical health that improves, but their ability to cope with adversity and even how much they enjoy school, with 81% of children agreeing they had better relationships with their teachers after spending time in nature.
This is where PGL, the UK’s leading outdoor education provider, comes in. Named after its founder Peter Gordon Lawrence – but perhaps more fondly known as “Parents Get Lost” – PGL specialises in multi-activity residential centres across the UK, France and Australia. As part of PGL Beyond it also provides tours and school trips across 160 destinations.
