A Grassroots Remedy

Most of us spend our lives seeking the natural world. To this end, we walk the dog, play golf, go fishing, sit in the garden,drink outside rather than inside the pub, have a picnic, live in the suburbs, go to the seaside, buy a weekend place in thecountry. The most popular leisure activity in Britain is going for a walk. And when joggers (慢跑者) jog, they don’t run thestreets. Every one of them instinctively heads to the park or the river. It is my profound belief that not only do we all neednature, but we all seek nature, whether we know we are doing so or not.

But despite this, our children are growing up nature-deprived (丧失). I spent my boyhood climbing trees on StreathamCommon, South London. These days, children are robbed of these ancient freedoms, due to problems like crime, traffic, theloss of the open spaces and odd new perceptions about what is best for children, that is to say, things that can be bought,rather than things that can be found.

The truth is to be found elsewhere. A study in the US: families had moved to better housing and the children were assessedfor ADHD—attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (多动症). Those whose accommodation had more natural views showedan improvement of 19%; those who had the same improvement in material surroundings but no nice view improved just 4%.

A study in Sweden indicated that kindergarten children who could play in a natural environment had less illness and greaterphysical ability than children used only to a normal playground. A US study suggested that when a school gave childrenaccess to a natural environment, academic levels were raised across the entire school.

Another study found that children play differently in a natural environment. In playgrounds, children create a hierarchy (等级)based on physical abilities, with the tough ones taking the lead. But when a grassy area was planted with bushes, thechildren got much more into fantasy play, and the social hierarchy was now based on imagination and creativity.

Most bullying (恃强凌弱) is found in schools where there is a tarmac (柏油碎⽯) playground; the least bullying is in a naturalarea that the children are encouraged to explore. This reminds me unpleasantly of Sunnyhill School in Streatham, with itsharsh tarmac, where I used to hang about in corners fantasising about wildlife.

But children are frequently discouraged from involvement with natural spaces, for health and safety reasons, for fear that theymight get dirty or that they might cause damage. So, instead, the

damage is done to the children themselves: not to their bodies but to their souls.

One of the great problems of modern childhood is ADHD, now increasingly and expensively treated with drugs. Yet onestudy after another indicates that contact with nature gives huge benefits to ADHD children. However, we spend money ondrugs rather than on green places.

The life of old people is measurably better when they have access to nature. The increasing emphasis for the growingpopulation of old people is in quality rather than quantity of years. And study after study finds that a garden is the single mostimportant thing in finding that quality.

In wider and more difficult areas of life, there is evidence to indicate that natural surroundings improve all kinds of things.Even problems with crime and aggressive behaviour are reduced when there is contact with the natural world.

Dr William Bird, researcher from the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, states in his study, “A natural environment canreduce violent behaviour because its restorative process helps reduce anger and impulsive behaviour.” Wild places needencouraging for this reason, no matter how small their contribution.

We tend to look on nature conservation as some kind of favour that human beings are granting to the natural world. The errorhere is far too deep: not only do humans need nature for themselves, but the very idea that humanity and the natural worldare separable things is profoundly damaging.
