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.
