A campaign by the National Trust encourages employees to enjoy the spring blossom season, emphasizing its mood-lifting effects. Although nearly all respondents in a recent poll experienced happiness from blossom, only 10% of workers take breaks outdoors. The trust highlights the importance of these moments in nature, especially following a gloomy winter, and urges individuals to explore local green spaces and appreciate the transient beauty of blooming trees. This initiative, aligned with rising temperatures and the spring equinox, reflects continued efforts to promote wellness through nature.
Annie Reilly, the blossom programme manager at the trust, said: "The sight of blossom after such a grey, cold and stormy start to the year is a real mood-lifter."
A new YouGov poll for the trust found that almost all UK adults (94%) said the sight of blossom on trees and in hedgerows made them happy.
The conservation charity believes this week's rising temperatures in much of the UK, which coincide neatly with the spring equinox, will start this year's blossom season.
While 80% of workers said they felt more positive after downing tools or getting away from screens, only 10% actually got out for walks.
