Learning experiences in the forests around Freiburg (Germany)

The study programme of forest sciences was established at the University of Freiburg in 1920 - the main reason named for the choice of Freiburg was the diversity of forests around the city, which would serve for leaming in the forests as well as for research. These forests today mostly belong to the City of Freiburg and the State of Baden-Württemberg. The forests closest to the university may be accessed on foot, by bicycle or tram.
The forests around Freiburg are suitable for leaming experiences in virtually all subjects of the forest related study programmes and have been extensively used all the time. Good relationships have been maintained between the staff of the forest management and the teaching personnel of the university.
lt is concluded that for in-forest leaming it does not necessarily need university owned forests.
Examples for personal experience of the author as student and as teacher are presented, including courses from the fields of forest utilization, forest work science and forest road construction as well as the ESPRO (First-Semester-Project).
