Forest school education is an educational model that contributes to the social, emotional, and cognitive development of students by providing them with immersive learning experiences in nature. This article aims to examine the importance of forest school education in terms of children's rights and the benefits it provides. Research shows that forest school education has positive effects on children's physical and mental health, self-confidence, and sense of responsibility. Additionally, forest school education supports children in connecting with nature and developing environmental awareness. As a result, children grow up to be healthier, more self-confident, and responsible individuals. As we continue to grapple with global environmental challenges, it is crucial to prioritize and support alternative education approaches like forest school education that encourage children to form lifelong bonds with nature and develop a strong sense of environmental responsibility.
