17.01.2022 Looking forward to seeing you at Festival of Bright Ideas! Come along and design and make with Forest in a Box.

15.01.2022 The Forest Education Foundation(FEF) spent this week with Ridgely Primary for a Forest Discovery Experience - teaching students from K-6 all about forest system...s, the importance of forests and the ways that people interact with forest landscapes and resources. Students created a forest habitat with Forest in a Box. This is a Design and Make package resource that schools can loan from FEF. They also built a food web and explored the interconnections of a forest. These activities link closely with the 'Critical and Creative Thinking' and 'Personal and Social,' General capabilities of the Australian Curriculum.

The day was focused around 'Trees on Farms', with participants unpacking the benefits of trees in the farm landscape and how this learning fits into the Food and Fibre Production curriculum. A highlight of the day was using the Forest in a Box - Design and Make kit to represent 'Trees on Farms'. Spe...cial thanks to guest presenters- Stephen and Molly from Private Forests Tasmania for sharing their expertise with the group, as well as Hagley Farm School Visitor Centre - A Tasmanian Field Study Centre and the Professional Learning Institute for hosting this wonderful event!
