The project is managed by
The Countryside Foundation for Education
on behalf of the RFS Yorkshire Division
Teaching Trees
Developed and funded by The Yorkshire Division of The Royal Forestry Society and based in Yorkshire, Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire, the aim of the Teaching Trees project is to encourage teachers to bring children of all ages into the woods. The woodland environment provides many opportunities for learning across the range of the National Curriculum. By kind permission of RFS woodland owners, we seek to introduce schools to woods in their vicinity. Our aim is to help broaden and consolidate regular classroom work by using woods as occasional outdoor classrooms.
One of our Education Officers will organise and run a free of charge initial Teaching Trees session, but it is hoped that, with the help of our free downloadable resources, teachers will feel confident to manage subsequent visits on their own.
