How can we encourage parents living in urban areas to take advantage of the benefits woodlands can have on their children's (11 years and under) development?

I am Helena Buckoke, an MSc Integrated Product Design student at Brunel University, Uxbridge.
I am conducting a research study for a design project, and I am looking for various parents living in London that have children of 11 years and under.

I am collecting data from people like you in order to understand your priorities and preferences in what may help to fulfil your needs and desires through design.

All information will be kept confidential and used for academic purposes only.
