The People and Nature Survey for England gathers information on people’s experiences and views about the natural environment, and its contributions to our health and wellbeing.
Note that these are experimental statistics and indicators have been generated using interim methods. There will likely be small differences between these monthly interim indicators and full People and Nature Survey results once methods have been finalised.
This publication reports a set of weighted national interim indicators from the survey, which have been generated using data collected in April, 2020 from a sample of approx. 2,000 adults (16+):
-
% adults spending time outside in last 12 months by frequency

-
