Waldabenteuer für die ganze Familie

For exciting outdoor experiences, you don't have to travel far; they can be found right at your doorstep in one of the nearby forests. Wilderness educators Maurice Ressel and Martino Abis provide parents with this guide filled with valuable information on how to inspire and sensitize preschool and elementary school-aged children to the nature in their own surroundings. The two authors guide readers through the seasons in the forest, offering extensive information about flora and fauna, appropriate behavior in the woods, and motivating activities and conscious awareness. Various animals with their "superpowers"—which are heightened sensory perceptions—are introduced, along with concrete instructions on how children can discover and sharpen their own senses. The forest adventure is complemented by exciting suggestions, such as how to listen to the trees drinking or see the forest from a mouse's perspective. Additionally, young explorers will learn to read animal tracks, navigate the forest, carve, and much more. This interactive and engaging approach teaches children and their parents about the importance, beauty, and vulnerability of local forests. There are many reasons to love and preserve our forests, which is one of the key missions of the State Forestry Agency of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, which publishes this special forest guide and supports the authors with the knowledge of their own forest educators. After all, people only protect what they know. Outdoor fun, survival training, and nature education—perfect for children. Exciting and educational adventure ideas throughout the seasons, both day and night. The importance, vulnerability, and beauty of our forests are explained and made tangible to foster a connection to nature. The topic of forests and their wildlife is presented in an informative and engaging way, based on the four seasons as well as dangers in the woods and during the night and twilight.
