They cover a wide range of methodologies, including traditional field classes and trips with a guide, classes at forest education rooms, meetings with a forester in schools and outside them, educational actions and events, exhibitions, outdoor workshops, competitions testing forestry knowledge, or sports competitions. An attractive and diversified education infrastructure is used during those activities, consisting of forestry education centres, education rooms, education sheds – so-called green classes, educational trails, education points, as well as an accommodation base.
