Nature connectedness is intended to replace the current disconnect between young people and the natural world flagged up by a number of writers, including Robert MacFarlane.

Perhaps time spent outside?
A recent BBC News article suggested as little as 20 minutes is enough to have an impact.
Ideas welcome. How best to do this?
