The article presents an evaluation of a programme of the environmental education centre Jizerka on pupils’ knowledge of a problem of forests’ degradation in Jizera mountains and on selected investigation skills. The research was based on a simple evaluation pretest/posttest design on a sample of 64 pupils 12-14 years old. According to the results, the programme positively influences all of the measured cognitive variables, although its impact on critical texts’ analysis was only weak. In discussion, means for further programme modifications are suggested.
