Ecological path as a form of organization of the educational process in additional education

Familiarizing students with the components of the basics of ecology only in natural science lessons is ineffective. Therefore, it is important to develop environmental education through a system of additional education for children. At the same time, one of the means may be the organization of a network of educational ecological trails. Educational and research activities, excursions along the ecological path, competitions, contests held directly in the natural environment contribute to improving the level of patriotic education, ecological culture and deepening students' knowledge about their native land. The network interaction of teachers of institutions of additional education and teachers of secondary schools of the district, by combining them into an initiative group, allows them to unite their ideas, pedagogical experience and develop the most effective methods of educational work, remote small schools.
