The Learning about Ecosystems and Forests (LEAF) programme is operated under the auspices of the Foundation for Environmental Education and is headquartered in Copenhagen, Denmark. The LEAF programme encourages environmental education through raising awareness among students, teachers and the wider community. The programme looks at all the functions of forests. Through close collaboration with our members on any and all issues they may have, the Foundation for Environmental Education works tirelessly to ensure the programme’s expansion, and that the unrivalled standards of LEAF are maintained internationally.

• A well-defined, measurable model for the delivery of national and international policy and objectives for education and awareness about forests.

• A higher standard of environment for local people and the associated health benefits.

• Helping develop students’ decision-making skills and builds students’ confidence and sense of citizenship through participation.

• A structured approach to environmental education and awareness of forests has the potential to create a highly educated, informed and skilled population
