Forest pedagogy

The Ministry of Agriculture supports the educational activities covered by Forest Pedagogy, which brings visitors to a forest closer to the forest ecosystem, sustainable forest management, the meaning of forest management and the benefits that a forest brings to one. Its basic principle is to perceive nature using all the senses; this is facilitated by forest pedagogues (specially trained foresters with pedagogical knowledge and experience) directly in the forest environment. Forestry and other interest organisations publish printed materials on popular science for the project and there are also created educational forestry on-line applications that provide more information about forests and forest management in the form of fun games (The Forester’s Apprentice or Forest Traffic Lights).
