Scotland's Young People's Forest: tackling climate anxiety and providing hope, with Abi Gardner and Emma Bryden
Show Notes

Emma Bryden, a member of the Young People’s Forest Panel, and Abi Gardner, NatureScot’s Biodiversity and Climate Change Engagement Officer, tell us about Scotland's Young People's Forest (SYPF) and its positive impact, both on climate change, and also on people.

We also hear why some people are experiencing climate anxiety and how projects such as SYPF are providing a way to take positive action and instil a sense of hope for many.

SYPF is a project by Young Scot and YouthLink Scotland, with support from NatureScot, Scottish Enterprise, Corra Foundation, Pears Foundation and Wood PLC.
