In recent years, the forest has increasingly been recognized and utilized as an educational space. However, experiences in nature are not a given for all children. How does the lack of nature experiences affect child development? How do schools address this deficit? What concepts does traditional environmental education provide? Tabea Schwegler explores these questions and clarifies what is meant by forest education and whether it can serve as a meaningful complement to the existing school offerings in environmental education, as well as under what conditions this can be realized. This book, developed from practical experience, introduces interested readers to the objectives and methods of forest education and explains its implementation in the primary school sector. For pedagogical work, considerations are taken into account.
