The Pyrenees National Park Educational handbook is a very useful tool for teachers who want their pupils to discover the National Park and make use of the visit to meet certain school programme requirements.
Ever since its creation the Pyrenees National Park has made a point of welcoming schools and has organized activities for them.

This Educational handbook was created first and foremost for teachers and pupils from 10 to14 as most of the classes interested in visiting the park are in that age group.
The aim of the Educational handbook is to help this particular public to discover the Pyrenees National Park, to understand its organization and its different missions, to help teachers prepare outings and facilitate meetings with park wardens on the terrain.
The educational handbook has a summary and a series of theme sheets each treating a different subject : landscapes, the environment, the surveillance and protection of the different species, the life of mountain dwellers, the code of good conduct, all subjects in which young visitors, destined to become tomorrow's preservationists, show a real interest.

It will also allow teachers to organize trips in the Pyrenees National Park by themselves.

Here are a few examples of the theme sheets contained in the handbook :

-Sheets showing partnerships with the Pyrenees National Park
- Work and information sheets for each subject

*What to do ?
*Safety in the mountains
*National Parks throughout the world
*Animals in the Pyrenees National Park
