Education Materials

FORRU-CMU offers various modules about the principles and techniques of forest restoration, available online for middle to high school range, as well as both international and local schools. Teachers are enabled to download via PDF files and print out worksheet to students, once they understand the concept, they will be able to go out and learn more in How to Plant a Forest manual which would give a summary topic of useful tools to implement outside schools.
