The Ramblers have launched new research outlining how the COVID-19 pandemic has changed our attitude to nature and walking. Their new campaign has been created to ensure that everyone, everywhere has good access to high quality green space.
Their research found that people are planning to walk more, and more people now appreciate green spaces. However, it also shows that people on a low income and those who identify as being from a BAME background are less likely to have access to their own garden, and are less likely to have green spaces within a five minute walk of their home.
