"The nursery has been working on the topic of 'The forest and its animals' throughout the year, singing, making things and looking at lots of non-fiction books. It's great to see how the children have engaged with the topic and expanded their knowledge. Through the events in the forest, the children develop a responsible relationship with nature and animals," said Sandra Klein, head of the Paul Bühler daycare center in Bietigheim-Bissingen.
The event, which the children attended with their teachers in the Bietigheim forest, was the third of its kind. During the events, the children were able to acquire interesting knowledge about the forest and its inhabitants through fun and games. Sometimes it was sneaking along the "stalking trail" or running through the forest in the "search dog game".
Forest education events are part of the wide range of activities offered by the Forestry Department of the Ludwigsburg District Office. "Our aim is to give children and young people in the forest the opportunity to come into direct contact with the topic of sustainability," says Dr. Michael Nill, Deputy Head of the Forestry Department at Ludwigsburg District Office. "With forest education, we are fulfilling our mission of education for sustainable development. The forest offers numerous opportunities as an extracurricular place of learning and experience."
