Digitalne inovacije Opće je poznato da se ljudi diljem Forest of Dean osjećaju digitalno isključenima. FVAF, radeći u partnerstvu s općinskim vijećem Gloucestershirea, Digital Unite i IT školama Afrike, naporno rade na razbijanju ovih prepreka. Kroz obuku grupe digitalnih prvaka i vođenje brojnih 'pop-up' digitalnih sesija u Dekanskoj šumi, nadamo se da ćete moći epodržati one koji bi željeli poboljšati svoje digitalne vještine, bilo da je to učenje kako napraviti video pozive voljenima, plaćajte račune online, šaljite e-poruke ili pohađajte virtualne tečajeve. Uz 'pop-up' čvorišta za obuku, uskoro ćemo instalirati digitalni paket za obuku u zgradi naše zajednice u Cinderfordu. Također ćemo surađivati s GRCC-om i lokalnim seoskim vijećnicama kako bismo poboljšali njihovu digitalnu infrastrukturu kako bismo osigurali bolju povezanost u ruralnim zajednicama. Ako ste zainteresirani postati digitalni prvak i podržati druge, kontaktirajte Nicka Pennyja putem e-pošte na Projects@fvaf.org.uk IT škole Afrika Digitalni prvaci GRCC

Šumarska šuma Volontirajte sa Šumarskom šumom Posjetite web-stranicu Foresters' Forest Prijavite se na bilten Šumarske šume Mi smo Fond nacionalne baštine lutrije Program krajobraznog partnerstva, formiran od udruge partnerskih organizacija i grupa lokalnih zajednica u sklopu Dekanske šume. Cilj nam je osvijestiti i sudjelovati u građenoj, prirodnoj i kulturnoj baštini koja našu šumu čini posebnom. Ima puno stvari za vidjeti, raditi, istražiti i u što se uključiti, stoga se nadamo da ćete doći i pridružiti nam se u nizu aktivnosti, prilika za volontiranje i događanja. Za dodatne informacije posjetite našu namjensku web stranicu www.forestersforest.uk . Ipak, ukratko, Šumarski program temelji se na pet tema: Naše uporište za prirodu, Istraživanje naše šume, Otkrivanje naše prošlosti, Slavljenje naše šume, Osiguravanje naše budućnosti. Svaka od ovih tema ima niz projekata koji otkrivaju, dijele i slave našu baštinu. Postoji mnogo prilika da se uključite u učenje i zaštitu naše posebne šume, pa se nadamo da ćete nam se pridružiti!
