We’re delighted that Yorkshire Wildlife Trust is repeating its 30 Days Wild initiative that encourages people to get outdoors and experience nature.
The reason that we’re fans of 30 Days Wild is because the benefits of outdoor play go beyond general health and are documented to slow the progression of myopia in children. There has been a huge rise around the globe in short-sightedness over recent decades and research suggests that lack of natural light is a key factor.
Children who spend just 90 minutes a day outdoors are reducing their risk of myopia. Simply visit www.wildlifetrusts.org.uk/30DaysWild and sign up to receive inspirational ideas, stickers and wildflower seeds for your garden.
