What are the aims of FEI?
FEI's aim is to increase young people's understanding of the link between trees and the many everyday products, which they provide, and to enable them to appreciate the environmental, social and economic importance of trees, woodlands, forests and wood products.

Forest Education Initiative aims to help young people:

• make the vital link between the tree and wood products

• enjoy and appreciate trees and the forest environment

• understand the sustainable role that trees and timber play in our lives

The practical work of FEI is achieved through local groups, who initiate and deliver various local projects such as:

• teaching packs about local trees, woods, forestry and forest industries

• a directory of local sites and their facilities

• developing woodland settings in school grounds

• hosting INSET events for teachers

• theatre productions

• Forest Schools

• Wood Tour Bus to schools
