Forests and the National Curriculum

The Forest Service has produced a range of worksheets and activity sheets that, when combined with a visit to a forest and the services of a forest guide, can assist teachers in providing challenging and exciting activities that can play an integral part in the delivery of the Northern Ireland National Curriculum in a variety of subjects.

These are available for pupils in all Key Stage groups and further details are available below.

Forest Guides may also be able to taylor a visit to suit the needs of your group.

Remember all pre-booked educational visits to Northern Ireland forests are free of charge.

"If you think ONE year ahead - plant rice.
If you think TEN years ahead - plant a tree.
If you think ONE HUNDRED years ahead - educate the children."
(Kuan Izu, Chinese poet)
