Natur a ni survey

1
Down to Earth is a not-for-profit organisation, that believes relationship-centred and meaningful, outdoor experiences have the potential to change people’s lives

A Down to Earth led partnership has secured Meithrin Natur funding from the National Lottery Community Fund to explore a new approach to early years learning across Wales, placing children's voices, creativity and well-being at the centre of how they experience the natural world

This questionnaire has been put together to identify the barriers families face when accessing and using natural environments.

It will help us understand what is working, what gets in the way, and what would make a difference.
