The forest academy
Peter Wohlleben, successful author of non-fiction and children's books, forester and passionate forest conservationist, founded Wohllebens Waldakademie in December 2016 in order to make the contents of his books tangible in the forest for every nature enthusiast. Since then, we have been working in a dynamic team with a lot of joy to inspire more and more people for the topic of forests. With our events and training courses, our primeval forest project, consulting for private individuals and companies, and much more, we show how environmental protection can be fun.
