Forestry Education

The Forest Education Foundation Incorporated, (FEF), was formed in 1989 as a joint initiative between the forest industries and Forestry Tasmania.

The prime objective of the FEF is:

"To encourage informed decisions about forest use within the community by promoting a sound understanding of forests and forestry processes and of the social, economic and environmental values of forests."

Since its inception in 1989 the Forest Education Foundation has developed a number of venues and program options designed for schools and teachers.

The Arm River Outdoor Education Centre, in the north west of the state, was the first site to be developed.

This residential centre allows in depth studies of forest ecology, forest management, land use issues and human interaction with forest environments over time.

The Dromedary Day Visit Centre, north of Hobart, allows groups to study aspects of forest ecology and forest management.

Arm River and Dromedary are staffed by qualified teachers.
