Fourth graders’ connectedness to nature - does cultural background matter?

We examined the cultural association with INS through two-level modeling, which also integrated gender, class affiliation, region (rural vs. urban), and time spent in forests. While the cultural background showed no significant association with INS, the frequency of forest visits did. Environmental educators should therefore focus on genuine nature experiences to foster connectedness to nature.
