Playing in the forest is also a strategy - Everything you need to know about forest play

It has been over 20 years since the author moved to Germany and majored in forest ecology at the University of Freiburg, and it has been just six years since he returned to Korea and opened a forest research institute and began operating a forest ecology experience program.
This is the ultimate forest ecology experience education program that encapsulates the know-how that Dr. Nam Hyo-chang has accumulated over the past several decades.
Therefore, it can be used as an essential textbook for educators who lead forest ecology experience programs in the field.
It is also a great guidebook for parents who visit the forest holding their children's hands to experience becoming one with nature.

A friendly and complete guide for forest ecology educators
As the importance of ecological experiential education grows, all kinds of experiential programs are flourishing in mountains, fields, and tidal flats across the country.
In particular, forest ecology experiences are more popular than any other program because they take place ‘inside’ nature.
However, there are not many teaching materials that educators can refer to in the field.
The author has been directly operating a forest experience program through the Forest Research Institute for several years and has meticulously observed the entire process of forest ecology education and organized it into a book.
What does it mean to play in the forest? While traditional education primarily relied on one-sided commentary, forest ecology experiential education is gradually incorporating active activities.
The author introduces 'How to Play in the Forest' as the cornerstone of forest ecology experience education in seven ways: play activities, assignment activities, explanation activities, discussion activities, exploration activities, role-playing activities, and example activities.
If these seven activities are organically combined according to location, time, age, and target, a forest ecology experience education program is formed.
So how does a program actually proceed? Drawing on his own experience and expertise, the author guides the entire process, from deciding on a program theme and recruiting trainees, budgeting, and advertising, to recruiting instructors, field trips, conducting the actual training, and finally, evaluating the program.

The essence of eco-edutainment: 109 forest eco-experience activities
The 109 forest experience play programs introduced in Part 3 are what makes this book stand out the most.
The author has organized the forest experience play programs he researched and conducted at the Forest Research Institute by age, target audience, location, time required, and season, and can be said to have pioneered a new genre called eco-edutainment.
Above all, it not only organizes the games that can be played at each stage, such as the beginning stage where you first encounter the forest, the development/climax stage where you actively progress in the forest, and the final stage where you clean up after leaving the forest, but also includes various activities that can help you experience the forest and develop your senses for each game, and since it is described in detail from the beginning to the end of the game, it has the advantage of allowing anyone to easily create their own forest experience play program.
