Our surf school doesn’t just introduce young and old to the pleasures of surfing. We’re also keen to pass on strong values linked to nature and its preservation. That’s why we organize forest outings in the heart of the Landes de Gascogne for school groups and extracurricular activities. These immersive excursions offer children the opportunity to connect with their environment, discover local flora and fauna and understand the importance of biodiversity.
Our activities are designed to combine learning and awareness of nature. The ocean and the forest are two interdependent environments that must be protected. By introducing children to nature, we give them a better understanding of ecological issues and encourage them to adopt environmentally-friendly practices.
Our forest outings are supervised by enthusiastic guides and ecology specialists. Several activities are available for children:
Observe birds and insects to understand their role in the ecosystem.
Recognize animal prints and tracks to learn how to identify local wildlife.
Educational games on biodiversity to make the experience interactive and engaging.
Relaxation in the heart of nature, reconnecting with the environment.

Our outings also include an immersion in the history of the Landes de Gascogne forest, a fascinating ecosystem shaped by man and nature over the centuries. Once a landscape of marshes and moors, this immense forest was planted to fix the dunes and purify the soil, becoming today a unique area, rich in biodiversity.
On these excursions, we explain how the forest developed, its importance to the region and the challenges it faces today.
The proximity of the ocean to the forest raises vital questions aboutcoastal erosion and how it impacts natural landscapes. We raise children’s awareness of this phenomenon by explaining how wind, rain and human activity continually modify the coastline and its wooded areas.
Another major topic is forest fire prevention. Every year, these fires ravage hectares of vegetation, endangering local flora and fauna. Our animators explain the causes of fires, their impact on the ecosystem and the actions put in place to limit these risks, such as plot maintenance and surveillance measures.
These outings are open to school groups, summer camps and associations wishing to offer children a unique experience in nature awareness. We adapt the program to the age of the participants and the educational objectives of the teachers.
Duration: half-day
Supervision: naturalist guides and environmental educators
