This study investigated the attitudes about forests of 8th grade primary school students in Burdur (Turkey) and to investigate demographic variables that might affect the attitude. “Attitude Towards Forest Scale” developed by Demirkaya and Genç (2006) was applied to 318 students who are instructed in 5 primary schools in Burdur. The purpose of this study is to research whether students’ attitudes towards forest change in relation to demographic variables. According to the results of the research, a significant difference has been observed between students’ attitude towards forest and distance of their home from a forest. A significant difference has been observed between students’ attitude towards forest and frequency of forest visit. However, no significant difference has been observed in students’ attitude towards forest in terms of gender.
