Game about collection of tree species cones as a source of forest reproductive material.
This activity was prepared to acquaint children with issues related to collection of tree species forest reproductive material and its importance for reforestation.
The participants will be divided into two groups (pickers, foresters). A rope will be tied around one selected tree in such a way to allow keep the rope by hand. Every forester will receive one cone. Right-handers will keep the rope by right hand and throw the cone in a chosen direction by left hand. Left-handers will do it in the opposite way. Every forester will stand then above his cone. Subsequently the pickers will create a living chain holding each other’s hand. The chain symbolizes a safety rope which is used by pickers in tree crowns.
