Environmental education activities are engaging, challenging and fun. Everyone can participate and it must be done together. Birdstories organizes activities for different population groups and for schools. The most followed methodology is that of active education in nature. Nature, and in particular the forest in forest pedagogy, represents the place where that connection is created that naturally leads to learning, through intensive experience of the environment, hands-on activities and the development of interpersonal relationships.
“Tell me and I forget, teach me and I remember, involve me and I learn”
Environmental Education is about building a relationship between us, human beings, and the environment in which we live, and finds its value in nature as the foundation of life; it aims to convey the awareness that the beauty and diversity of the natural world, in which we live, are greatly threatened by causes such as pollution or excessive use of resources, which stem precisely from our behaviors , highlighting our responsibility in every daily action. Our choices now of respecting the environment and adopting more sustainable habits will also be effective for future generations.
Below you can find out about the Environmental Education themes and activities I have created throughout the year, with a special section dedicated to Forest Pedagogy! For more details please do not hesitate to contact me

I am Serena, a professional Birding Guide. I had interrupted my path in nature knowledge, but slowly it called me back. The funny thing? I rediscovered my passion in Germany, in a large and urbanized city.I am of the opinion that it is the spirit of observation that makes the difference and that only by creating the right atmosphere, you can get in touch with nature. Since 2018, I have been an environmental hiking guide! Now, the stories I have learned are so many, I would love to tell you about them by taking you around with binoculars and a lot of passion.
