Thank you so much for filling in our survey.

We are exploring the love of nature which is so often sparked in childhood - especially in young children - by encounters with wild creatures, whether fluttering, wriggling, hopping or scuttling! This short survey invites you to think back to your childhood and reflect on the creatures that may have lit that spark. We're also hoping to gather some wonderful personal stories along the way.

This isn't a scientific study, but a way to collect heartfelt memories and insights to help us tell the story of how people connect with nature. You can complete the survey anonymously if you wish.

We can’t wait to see what emerges. We'll be sharing the results in a future edition of Heal’s monthly newsletter, Heal Highs. If you’re not a subscriber, click here to sign up.

Thank you again,
The Heal team
