Access to nature – listen again

Our recent panel discussion focused on how connection to nature is vital to our wellbeing.

Garden designer and Gardeners’ Question Time regular, Matthew Wilson, chaired the panel that also included Louise Wyman, Strategic Director, Manchester City Council; Louise Clarke Head of Sustainable Places at Berkeley Group and Loyd Grossman, Chairman of Royal Parks.

Topics covered the positive effects that spending time in nature can bring, particularly during the recent lockdown; the role that local authorities can play in giving people access to nature; and the challenges of keeping parks open and clean at a time when they are getting much more use.
