Scotland’s Young People’s Forest Toolkit for the Youth Work Sector

This free, downloadable toolkit builds youth workers’ capacity and awareness around green skills and climate education for young people through training, resources and guidance.

This free, downloadable toolkit builds youth workers’ capacity and awareness around green skills and climate education for young people through training, resources and guidance. It provides inspiration, activities and lesson plans you can use to engage with your youth groups while empowering them to take climate action.

You and your youth groups don’t need any prior knowledge of the subject; this toolkit is designed to be used by anyone who works with young people. Whether you are based in the city centre, or are living in a national park, whether your youth groups are already passionate about the environment or are reluctant to get their hands dirty, there are endless exciting opportunities to engage in and with the natural world and play an active role in tackling the climate and nature emergencies.

Each activity can be used independently from the others and is adaptable for your young people, their level, and the time, space and resources you have available.

The toolkit is accessible here.
