In cooperation with "Latvia's State Forests" and "Latvijas Finieris" the learning material on Bioeconomics in schools was prepared with various education activities in the forest. Activities provide insight on how Solar energy is used in the forest and what could humans learn from this process. Based on lessons from nature students green business ideas can be developped.
