Connection to nature has received renewed importance through its inclusion as a policy aim within the Department for Education’s Sustainability and Climate Change Strategy. It has been shown to have a wealth of benefits for students' wellbeing, and has potential to influence the development of pro-environmental behaviours.

The research indicates that students’ perceptions can be influenced over short periods of time. I suggest geography fieldwork as a way to incorporate opportunities for students to connect with nature within existing curricula.
