Children And The Countryside

EDM number 251 in 2014-15, proposed by Barry Sheerman on 10/07/2014.
Categorised under the topics of Children and families and Countryside.

That this House is deeply concerned that over 35 per cent of children have never visited the countryside and that a child's chance of visiting the countryside has halved in a generation, with children from disadvantaged backgrounds being particularly badly affected; recognises that children who spend time in natural environments obtain better health and educational outcomes, performing better in reading, mathematics, science and social studies; and congratulates the hon. Members who are leading the John Clare Trust's 150 Poems challenge, which will raise vital funding to enable more schools to participate in opening up the woodlands, forests and meadows of our beautiful countryside to many more children.

This motion has been signed by a total of 69 MPs.
