PROGRAM
The Junior Forest Wardens activities focus on our 4 Pillars of: Forestry, Ecology, Outdoor Skills, and Leadership
Forestry
Wardens will develop an understanding of the contributions that forests make to life on earth; show an awareness of the interdependence of all life on earth, renewable and non-renewable resources used by people, and the impact of people on the environment; and develop the basic understandings, attitudes and skills necessary to protect, manage and renew the forest environment. Wardens will also develop a personal concern and community awareness, as well as practice responsible use of natural resources through community service projects.
Ecology
The wardens will develop an appreciation for the beauty and uniqueness of all living things by observing and comparing the differences in colour, form, texture, arrangement or design of objects in the environment and demonstrating knowledge, skills and attitudes regarding the diversity of the environment, including the life found within.
Outdoor Skills
The wardens will increase their knowledge of outdoor living skills and become confident in their ability to use these skills.
Leadership
Wardens will demonstrate the following abilities: to plan, execute and evaluate their program, based on the JFW 3 Rs; to manage tasks and demonstrate appropriate attitudes, skills and understanding to work cooperatively; to plan, execute and evaluate programs for younger people through the presentation of activities and by role-modelling expected behaviour to demonstrate skills, willingness and confidence to initiate and manage community service
