The pupils were involved in a forest-conscious hiking along the forest, practically acquiring new knowledge of the forest. All were very active in carrying out the tasks.
Using the circular plot method, they carried out the measurement of the plots planted by trees and determined that the number of plants required for 1 ha had been 2500.
The enthusiasm was in the process of dasting - the measurement of wooden tubes with a special device - the dastor, learned to determine the height of the pine of the growing (20 m high) pine with the help of the heartbeat and the age of the young pine trees, to count the annual spruce and pine strains, to recognize the native trees and bushes, to observe the damage of the forest animals, to perform other tasks.

While walking through the courtesy, we watched the sphagna moss covering the Spilves, or the frogs, the blueberries, the bears, the porcine, the cranberries, the witches (insect plants), and the small, scattering trees, the pine trees and the swamp Berzins.
We also visited a completely different object - Kalsnava arboratum (dendrarium), the second largest collection of trees, bushes and lians (total area 143 ha, growing around 2500 diversity). We found that arborate is recognised as a specially protected nature area and is managed BY Latvian state forests.
We looked at the peonial garden (approximately 200 donations of peonies), the hopes garden, the rododendra forest, the vines, the conifers, the low-form plantations, we went to the labyrinth of the Tooes, climbed into a 25 m high-view tower, looked at various rare and unusual plants such as tulip tree, snowflap tree, wig tree, Amura cork tree, etc.
We met in the Gardens of Vincenka (a municipality of eagles). The farm is engaged in the breeding of wild animals and birds in captivity. A number of hundreds of European stalks, fallow deer, muflona. A large variety of forest ducks, pens, pheasants, quail, chickens, rabbits, etc., also saw an African ostrich.
A hunting and natural museum with a wide collection of hunting trophies, supplemented by exotic animal and bird showberries, was a special interest. We also saw a 200 ha of licensed shooting gallery where Europe-wide shooting competitions take place.
Before going home, we practiced our feet by climbing and climbing from the highest terrain point in Latvia - Gaizinkalna.
