New forest box website simplifies access to educational offers around the forest

Von Alexander Schneider

The Waldbox website has been redesigned to make the educational offers around the forest even easier and clearer accessible. This was announced by the Minister of Nutrition, Rural Affairs and Consumer Protection, Peter Hauk. The forest box is a common forest pedagogy offer of the state forest administration and ForstBW and offers a variety of information about trees, animals of the forest, climate and the importance of forest work.

The reorganization of the website should be able to find schools, kindergartens, clubs and interested parties with just a few clicks of tailor -made forest pedagogical offers on site. The forest in Baden-Württemberg extends over 1.4 million hectares and is considered the largest classroom in the country. The goal of the forester is to bring young people closer to the value of sustainable management of natural resources.

The forest box is a specially developed forest pedagogy supporter that provides materials for groups of up to 35 children and adolescents. These boxes are available across the country and can be easily requested via the website. The website was designed modern to present the variety of the offers of the partners and to facilitate access to forest pedagogy.

Forest pedagogy in Baden-Württemberg includes all learning processes that affect the forest and its functions habitat with a focus on sustainability and the sustainable handling of the forest. The offers of the forest box are free of charge for schools from primary school to upper level and are individually adapted to the needs of users.

Overall, the redesign of the Waldbox website should help more people discover nature with all their senses and understand the value of sustainable handling of the forest. By providing free educational offers for school classes, forest pedagogy in Baden-Württemberg is further strengthened and promoted.
