Details

The People and Nature Survey for England gathers information on people’s experiences and views about the natural environment, and its contributions to our health and wellbeing.

These publications are aimed to help the user understand the methods behind the creation of the survey, as well as provide support for technical aspects of data collection, quality assurance and analysis.

Additionally, documents contain information on changes from Monitoring Engagement in the Natural Environment (MENE) survey to the People and Nature Survey including harmonisation between the surveys for key questions.
