Dr Mya-Rose Craig marks 10 years of Black2Nature and calls for wider access to nature across the UK.

An environmental campaigner who founded a charity to help children from ethnic minorities access nature says the cultural landscape has “shifted” since she began her work a decade ago.

Dr Mya-Rose Craig, 23, nicknamed ‘Birdgirl’, set up Black2Nature at the age of 13 to connect more children from Visible Minority Ethnic (VME) communities with the outdoors.

Reflecting on the charity’s 10th anniversary, she said the current environment feels “very different”; although there is still “a lot of progress to be made”.
