Young Scot has teamed up with SNH to launch ‘Simple Pleasures’, a campaign aimed at inspiring more young people to enjoy Scotland’s outdoors by making more use of green places in the middle of cities, woodland, waterways and paths. The campaign has been adapted for young people, after research highlighted that more than 93% of 11-17 year olds in Scotland enjoy spending their free time outdoors, with 69% stating they would like to spend more time outdoors.

These findings will be showcased nationally, to inspire more young people to take some time out and connect with nature. More
