Young people and nature
Inspired by Year of Young People 2018 in Scotland, and Year of Green Action 2019, the John Muir Trust co-designed a short youth survey and spoke with and listened to over 400 young people about their connection with the outdoors and nature.
We then commissioned Martin MacLeod, a young film-maker, to direct, shoot and edit a ‘Young People and Nature’ series of films – helping to share what young people think to a wide audience.
