Creating bridges between science and everyday life. With the same vision in mind: to enjoy the benefits of the forests and nature. For us and for the next generations.
Teach in the forests
Forest is the best classroom.
Forest pedagogy is one of the environmental education approaches that is connected with the forest and our relationship with it. Forest pedagogy appreciates, encourages and promotes forest as healthy and innovative educational ground. It uses active educational methods that enhance mutual cooperation and promote sustainable development.
The goal is to transfer our knowledge through practical education. We want to inspire you to create new and interesting activities that will bring children from enclosed spaces and classrooms into nature. As children gather new experience, they connect, upgrade and expand their interests while developing a positive attitude towards nature.
