For Schools
The study of forests can address a wide range of learning outcomes, provide students with the opportunity to develop an understanding of forest ecosystems and also encourage students to develop their own opinions regarding current management policies and practices.
The materials and programs on this site are relevant to current educational policy, including the Victorian Essential Learning Standards and Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) programs.

The Forest Education Service aims to enable teachers and students to better understand the distribution, ecology, use and management of forests in Victoria. Our major focus is primary and secondary students and their teachers in Victorian schools, but we also cater for tertiary students and the broader community.
