However, they sensitively perceive the misunderstanding or unawareness of the importance of sustainable forest management from the side of wide public. There is the lack of premises for environmental education and forest pedagogy in the given borderland. Therefore,\u00a0 in addition to the promotion of the natural values of the borderland, LESY SR and\u00a0 IPOLY ERD\u0150 decided to outline this territory as a forest ecosystem and the importance of sustainable forest management while conserving it for future generations.The newly built educational centres, demonstration objects, educational paths and forest pedagogues shall get forest closer to the target groups on the area exceeding 10,000 m2. The Forest School of Levice shall attract on the area exceeding 4,100 m2 with its innovative concept, it shall be located directly in the city and in addition to visual observation and cognition elements, it shall introduce also the possibility of practical skill development. The Visitor Centre and the Forest School of Somosk\u0151 shall supplement the network of the facilities of similar character in Hungary on the area of more than 5 900 m2. The suitable position of the location &#8211; the ruin of \u0160omo\u0161ka castle and Salg\u00f3, adjacent Geopark Novohrad-N\u00f3gr\u00e1d, high forest coverage and TK Karancs-Medves form the conditions for a successful functioning and all-year round utilisation of the complex<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>The main goal of the project:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The main goal of the project is to increase the attractiveness and thus the attendance of the border region by using its natural values in order to improve the environmental awareness and science literacy of the young generation, through education by experts &#8211; forest teachers. At the same time, develop services and support ecotourism as a new, progressive, environmental form of tourism.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Specific objectives of the project:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>To create conditions for the practical implementation of environmental education in the demonstration facilities of both partners, in learning centers and on educational trails, in order to connect the theoretical knowledge gained in school with practical skills through experiential learning of forest pedagogy. Ensure continuous training of pedagogical staff and forest teachers with the aim of using innovative forms of education, new teaching methods aimed at improving the environment, providing education and knowledge. Through joint excursions and discussions, deepen the mutual relations between youth, teachers, foresters, nature conservationists, tourists and local governments in the area of \u200b\u200binterest, build the right value ladder for children, youth, adults and lead them to actively protect the region&#8217;s natural and cultural heritage, knowledge and common history. active way of spending free time. To increase the awareness of the inhabitants of border regions about the possibilities of using teaching spaces, practical workshops and educational trails to get to know the culture, history and nature with an emphasis on improving the quality of the environment and the development of the landscape. Facilities of forest school complexes located in the town of Levice and near Salg\u00f3tarj\u00e1n with a catchment area of \u200b\u200b180 thousand. people, offers opportunities for education, learning about the region and its natural resources.
