Teaching Resources
Forestry Australia recommends two websites for teachers seeking resources about forestry.
Forest Education Foundation – Tasmania
The Forest Education Foundation Inc. is a not-for-profit educational institution staffed by qualified and experienced teachers. The Foundation has been providing learning experiences for teachers and students throughout Tasmania for over 25 years.
FEF programs provide teachers and students with the opportunity to engage with forest environments. Making connections to the Australian Curriculum: Science, HASS and Design and Technologies. The FEF programs explore forest systems and the connection between humans and natural environments. The experienced teachers at FEF provide learning experiences that are hands-on, collaborative and encourage problem-solving skills.
