The Company collaborates with National Forest Centre - Institute of Forestry Consulting and Education in Zvolen. That specific collaboration had fruited into a special training programme, in which a team of forest educators was trained. The team of forest educators consists of employees of MFE with theoretical and practical background in forestry, and they provide expert information on forest and forestry to all age groups.
Within the framework of forest pedagogy, the special attention is paid to children. In the process of experiential learning and educational games, the children learn about forestry right in the forest on the walks and in forest sessions.
