Paragraph 1
Children who live near woodland in a city have
mental health than children who do
. Researchers say children who visit and experience the great
every day develop better thinking skills. They also have a lower
of behavioural and emotional problems. Lead
of the research Mikael Maes, from University College London, talked about his research. He said: "These
contribute to our understanding of the natural environment as an
protective factor for [a child's]
development and mental health." Another report author, Professor Kate Jones, said seeing and hearing the
of nature provides psychological
for children.
