Youth relationships with nature are profoundly influenced by their day-to-day interactions with people and places. Here, we explored whether abrupt spatial restrictions imposed by COVID-19 lockdowns impacted how/where youth relate with nature. We compared "story maps" created by two groups of youth—before and during lockdown—which combined geographically referenced locations, images, and descriptions about relationships with nature, supplemented by follow-up surveys. Our findings indicate that youth relationships with nature are dynamic, responding to changing circumstances, environments, and needs. Specifically, during lockdown youth were more likely to find fulfillment and respite in nature, value lasting associations, and notice nature near where they live
