Actually it is not really even a matter of urban or race. Young people are like me at their age out trying to interact with other young people. That means bars or other such activities not national parks for most young people.

The Labour Government can huff and puff all they want, but I suspect young men and young women will still be trying to get together and I doubt the moors are a good place for that for most people.

You're exactly right.

My spouse and I, who are "middle-aged white people," go on these kind of volunteer-led nature and historical outings often. Usually the only other attendees are also "middle-aged white people."

You could never drag even our own "white" children to these outings. They just weren't interested, for the reason you point out.

Good point. I don't imagine that there are many 16-20 year olds of any ethnicity that are interested in nature walks.
