The participants of the seminar will get to know wild animals, their habits and work with and for them through short introductory lectures by forest pedagogues and foresters, and above all practically, through forest pedagogy activities in nature.
Our lecturers and organizers of the event will gladly and professionally answer professional questions about the forest, wild animals and hunting.

Why choose our seminar?
When providing expert knowledge, we naturalists meet interested publics who have different requirements for the forest, different levels of knowledge about the forest and animals, and awareness of its importance for our society. Our seminars are held in small groups, where each participant can co-create the seminar and improve their skills in the field of forest pedagogy.
If you think that your work needs new knowledge or just a boost in the field of cooperation with the general public on the topic of animals, forests and hunting, you are cordially invited to co-create the seminar "Following the Tracks of Animals and Knowledge" with us.
