About us

 

The Learning About Forests programme aims to encourage school classes and teachers to use forests for educational activities. The aim is to support teachers and pupils to go to forests, learn from them and in them, and to learn further by sharing experiences internationally.

While the Learning About Forests programme is a relatively new programme in forest education, it builds on the accumulated experience of well-established programmes in the European countries. The aim is to support existing national projects and to inspire the establishment of new programmes in countries where forest education programmes do not exist.

The project works as an internet-based network between participating countries. The network helps participants to benefit from each other’s experiences and materials, and to share new ideas. Over ten countries across Europe are currently actively involved.

On this site we offer access to a range of teaching materials and links to forest projects in a number of countries. You will also find news on the programme's development and activities.
