11 ====== **Description** ======
12 )))|(% style="width:730px" %)This indicator represents a quantification of the number of visitors/recreational activities within a greenspace or blue green space in order to evaluate, or measure an increase in, recreational benefits as a result of NBS. Examples of features and activities that can attract visitors to NBS include features such as large trees, benches, education days, and communication zones for picnicking.
