The Royal Forestry Society and Tir Coed are developing an innovative partnership to deliver the ‘Dysgu am Goed’ programme in Wales. Tir Coed aim firstly to adapt the English provision into the Welsh curriculum and translate all teaching resources, and the deliver a pilot of the programme across the 44 primary schools in Ceredigion over two academic years.
The project aims to provide children with an opportunity to gain an appreciation of woodlands, a value for wildlife, timber and for enjoyment whilst stimulating scientific, geographical, and historical skills as well as promoting creative skills and conservation awareness. The sessions will be led by an experienced Educational Officer and are designed to excite and inform children about their local woodland heritage and the importance of woodlands today and in the future.
The activities are accessible for wheelchairs and those who struggle with literacy and communication in the classroom, and will assist teachers and support staff in delivering lessons in the natural environment.
