Enhancing beauty, heritage and engagement with the natural environment

The summary Figure shows the proportion of indicator components for which ‘Enhancing beauty, heritage and engagement with the natural environment’ is the primary goal that have been assigned to each assessment category, with the exact number of indicator components shown as a label on the bars.

There are 9 indicators comprising of 23 indicator components in total with this primary goal. Although all the indicator components present data in this year’s Outcome Indicator Framework update, the majority (20 components in total) do not yet include sufficient data points to allow an assessment to be carried out. Three indicator components were assessed: D3 Area of woodland in England, G4a Frequency of visits to the natural environment and G5a Volunteer time spent on the natural environment in England. The observed increases in the area of woodland in England over the short and medium term are assessed as ‘little or no change’ but long-term increases are assessed as an improvement. Increases in the frequency of visits to the natural environment over the short term were also assessed as an improvement but there were insufficient data points to assess changes to this indicator over longer time periods. Volunteer time spent on the natural environment in England has deteriorated over the short and medium term, but it has improved over the long-term assessment period.
