As part of the programme BA Forest Engineering at Hochschule WeihenstephanTriesdorf, University of Applied Sciences (HSWT), Department of Forestry we introduced a Forest Training Trail (FTT) to complement our curriculum with a strong focus on applied training in the field.
The core of the FTT is (i) the trail itself with several sites with different focus and (ii) a questionnaire. Every semester a new trail at a new site within the training forest is set up. Usually, the trail encompasses four to six stations, each station representing a thematic focus of the training in the BA 'Forest Engineering', e.g. vegetation, silviculture, hunting, environmental protection, soil or other aspects. The students form teams of three and walk the FTT with a questionnaire and a map of the trail. After the deadline for handing in the questionnaires a master solution of the FTT is published on the faculty homepage in order to give students an opportunity for a self-feedback.
The results of the regular evaluation show a high acceptance by the students. Our conclusion after four years of experience with the FTT is that the design as competition and game including a trophy resulted in a very high acceptance and participation with joy.
