Inkomst- och utbildningsnivån i uppväxtmiljön är det som avgör barns relation till naturen, och inte om barnen bor i stan eller på landet. Det visar en ny studie från Lunds universitet. Resultatet går emot föreställningen att en uppväxt på landet per automatik ökar naturkontakten, samtidigt som studien visar att natur inpå knuten gynnar barns välmående. Det finns en generell oro för att människor
