""We're hearing about concerns that young adults on the Isle of Wight have limited access and time to spend time in nature - time that's thought to be beneficial for mental health.""
Researchers from the University of Southampton will monitor visitors to various outdoor spaces on the Isle of Wight to assess health and wellbeing benefits. The study will explore how people use these areas and identify which aspects of nature contribute to improved mental health. The research aims to understand barriers to access, particularly for young adults, and hopes to demonstrate that restoring nature can enhance both biodiversity and community wellbeing.
