Forest Activities

This activity is similar to Activity 3; The Forest Environment, but this takes a more global perspective. It encourages students to compare European forests with forests in Tanzania, which are currently enduring deforestation. It will give you students an idea of the impacts of deforestation on the environment and people who live and work there, and also the impact that they may have on these forests. It will also show them how they can help.

This “bite-sized” activity  is part of our Forest Activities. These activities are designed to encourage groups to use local forests and woodlands as a learning resource, encouraging students to get outdoors and interact with their local environment.
