Abstract: Deforestation that occurred in several protected forest areas was triggered by population growth and socio-economic activities of the people living around the forest area. The degradation of protected forest areas is increasingly high due to the conversion of protected forests to horticultural agriculture, looting and timber theft carried out by rural communities around the forest as well as accelerating the occurrence of forest destruction which impacts natural disasters such as landslides and floods. Another important problem is the participation of the community and the support of stakeholders in efforts to rehabilitate and conserve forest areas so that the efforts made to reduce the conversion of forest areas have not been optimal. Environmental management of forest areas needs to get the attention of all parties, including schools in the vicinity of forest areas. Schools are effective means of changing the behavior of young people to care and love the environment, and actively participate in preserving the forest environment. An environmental cultured school model through multi-stakeholder partnership is an alternative forest management system that is comprehensive, participatory and sustainable by fostering an environmentally caring attitude for the young generation through learning and habituation processes and considering aspects of environmental sustainability in every life. Strategies implemented through the development of environment-based curriculum, the development of extracurricular fields, management of environmentally friendly supporting facilities and environment-based school management.
