Learning About Forests Ireland

The Learning about Ecosystems and Forests (LEAF) programme is designed for colleges and schools and encourages environmental education through awareness raising among teachers, soon-to-be teachers, students, and the wider community. LEAF is an ambitious educational, restoration programme, restoring grounds and educating about the important role healthy, resilient ecosystems play, while meaningfully contributing to biodiversity, climate and well-being goals. LEAF focuses on educating the educators across all educational institutions (primary, secondary and third level) about the importance of healthy resilient ecosystems. The Environmental Education Unit of the national organisation “An Taisce” runs the LEAF programme nationally in Ireland.
