To raise students and teachers’ awareness of the processes taking place in the forest and encourage students to spend more time in nature, also when learning, JSC “Latvia’s State Forests”(LVM) organizes Mammadaba Master Class, which is a part of the international environmental education program “Learning about Forests”. Every year, the number of participants is rising, and this year almost a third part of all schools in Latvia have got involved in it.

More than 15 thousand students will acquire one of the lessons outside of the classroom by preparing three big tasks: “Forest Master Class”, “Forest Masterpiece”, and “Forest Master Day”.
