Ms Popa Mariana implemented the structured Rewilding scenario in two schools: Balcani Secondary School No. 1 and “Anghel Saligny” Technological High School in Bacau. A total of 30 students aged 11 to 16 years old participated. The families of the pupils were involved in the activities to study the specific habitat of the Subcarpathian area of Balcani commune, as well as forestry specialists (in collaboration with the Moinești Forestry Office). The students showed willingness to learn new things, but also to deepen the knowledge already acquired previously. They no longer found science difficult and hard to approach because the activities carried out were in line with their aptitudes.
