24.01.2022 This week has been #NAIDOCWeek, which acknowledges the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. The week has been celebrated by Indigenous communities, as well as government agencies, community organisations, local councils, workplaces, schools, and many more. The ForestLearning video below offers a sense of what you can expect from our ForestVR technology, as we share the renewable and sustainable Spotted Gum story. One of the key ...voices featured in the video is Rachael Cavanagh, Aboriginal Partnerships Liaison at the Forestry Corporation of NSW, and Principle Cultural Heritage Advisor for the Currie Country Foundation. Rachael is a #Minyungbal woman from the #Bundjalung/Yugambeh Nations of South East Queensland and Northern New South Wales. Her passion lies in empowering indigenous people, documenting and preserving country and culture, and facilitating the sharing of traditional land management practices such as cultural burning. A significant part of Rachael’s role is focused on engaging with traditional owners. This provides opportunities to tap into the valuable insights of Indigenous communities about the most effective local forest management practices, while ensuring cultural heritage is protected, and the wishes of traditional owners are respected. It's such a vital role, and we commend Rachael and the team for it, as well as all others around the country like Rachael working alongside traditional owners of land on which there are sustainable forestry operations. Spotted Gum is a beautiful Australian native hardwood species, with a very special story. With our ForestVR technology, you and your students can join us for a virtual tour, and learn about the renewable and sustainable nature of this unique timber species. You’ll witness all elements of the forestry process and beyond, via an immersive and engaging experience, without even leaving the classroom! You can view the video in full here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-kl7biGb24Q&t=1s And for more on ForestVR and the many other ForestLearning resources that could support and enrich your teaching delivery, visit https://forestlearning.edu.au/ #NAIDOCWeek #forestVR #ForestLearning #Forestry #RenewableResources #Science #OnlineLearning #Geography #Sustainability #VirtualClassroom

24.01.2022 #History #bushfires #forestprotection #firetower To help protect Queensland forests from wildfire, about 130 fire towers, cabins, and lookouts were built up until the late 1980's. This is the story about how and why the towers were built, what it’s like to work in a tower, and what the future of fire observation looks like. Innovations have brought the time of fire towers mostly to an end via drones and remote cameras. But the legacy of forest protection via fire towers bring... with it a story of innovation and new frontiers. URL Link: https://youtu.be/Tkrp_2U0Ces #forestlearning #forestry #careersinforestry

See you online! LEARN MORE + REGISTER HERE: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/...children-mind-well-being-an ABOUT THIS EVENT --> Curtin's School of Education in conjunction with the Environment Committee of the United Nations Association of Australia WA Inc, is excited to present a unique online event which makes the connection between the natural environment and the mental health and well-being of our young. Aimed at practitioners who work with 6 - 18 year olds, this event addresses how the mental health and well-being of school aged children can be impacted and supported by engagement in the natural environment. The COVID-19 lockdown has made us all acutely aware of how much we need to be in contact with nature. There is a growing body of research that is showing sustained positive effects on mental health and well-being when exposed to the natural environment. This workshop brings together educators, mental health professionals and environmental practitioners to support schools looking for ways to ameliorate the negative effects of the lockdown on our young students. This seminar will provide both a theoretical understanding of what is meant by mental health and well-being and also offer practical strategies for schools to enable students to experience the benefits of exposure to natural environments.

04.01.2022 Yesterday we acknowledged World Health Day and, considering the vital role our forests and timber products play in helping improve our wellbeing, we figured it was worthy of another shout out today!! Sustainably managed forests do so much more than help mitigate climate change and provide us with a beautiful, strong material to make things with. Using it in the built environment such as in schools, workplaces, homes and public spaces, positively impacts our mental wellbeing, ...thanks to a phenomenon we call 'biophilia'! That's right, using wood to bring the outdoors inside is known to make us happier and more productive. ForestLearning calls on all teachers to help spread the word about the wonders of wood! We provide handy and free resources to help kids of all ages understand this important resource. One great example is our Wood Properties lesson plan for Years 7 to 10. During this practical lesson, students will examine and compare the wood properties of different types of trees. They will learn how to measure the moisture content of wood, and be able to apply this knowledge when selecting appropriate uses for timber. Check it out here - https://forestlearning.edu.au//art/16/wood-properties.html #WorldHealthDay2021

03.01.2022 ForestLearning's diverse and innovative suite of learning tools take a variety of forms that are sure to leave kids feeling fascinated and engaged. The popular ForestLearning Tree Carbon Tape Measure is one example, and allows students to measure the width of trees and discover the carbon dioxide equivalent they have offset in their lifetimes. The beauty is that this information if frame in a super easy-to-understand way that makes it relevant to the students. For instance t...he tool shows students how smaller trees could offset the manufacturing of two Apple iPads and the running of a refrigerator for six years, while larger ones can offset the heating of 15 houses every year, or the manufacturing of 500 smartphones!!
