Almost 6 000 students and teachers have taken part in LVM forest expeditions this autumn
Forest expeditions are an exciting adventure in forest,
where in ten exploratory stations students get acquainted with the forest
management cycle, look at the forest from a forestry point of view together
with LVM experts, as well as perform a number of practical tasks, such as
measure the height of trees, determine the age of young stands, identify the
presence of wood in everyday objects, get to know forest pests and understand
the need for light in the forest much better. Joint construction of a wooden
bridge without using any additional fastenings is one of the students'
favourite tasks.
“The expeditions have emerged in response to the schools'
great interest in forests, their restoration and tending. Once upon a time,
these were the Forest Days, when groups of students came to forest to plant a
new forest. Then it became clear to the participants that the most important
thing was not the size of restored areas, but the involvement and interest of
people in the forest and the work to be done in it. The main task was to
address the public, an opportunity to show how the Latvian forests grow. We
have borrowed many valuable ideas for implementing the expeditions from our
Finnish state forest colleagues, giving children an opportunity to be in
forest, in nature and learn something new,” says Vilnis Turks, LVM Vidusdaugava
Region Senior Planner and one of the creators of LVM expeditions.
The feedback received from students and teachers shows that
the majority of expedition participants now want to go to forest more than once
a week! The main benefits of LVM Forest Expeditions pointed out by the
participants:
- An opportunity to explore
forest through practical activities and teamwork in the fresh air;
- An opportunity to ask
questions. Camp-fires. Observance of precautionary measures;
- Thoughtful teamwork;
- Practical work and
acquisition of new knowledge on forest management and tending;
- A wonderful connection
with subjects of science.
