The paper identified community education as a practical community-based approach to environmental adult education which is required to raise the consciousness of the rural dwellers over the consequences of the degradation of the forest ecosystem on them as well as develop in them a sense of responsibility and which also motivate them to take actions to forestall activities whether internal or external that will lead to the degradation of the forest ecosystem. It examines the roles community education can play in preserving and conserving forest and forest resources in Nigeria. The paper establishes that the relevance of community education with bias on the environment is embedded on the need to protect our forests and their resources to ensure the continuity of the benefits and services provided by the forests to human beings as well as forestalls the phenomenon of deforestation and its excruciating effects on human beings. The Paper therefore concludes that community education of the rural dwellers for forest conservation and preservation is significant whether or not their (rural dwellers) activities contribute to the degradation of the forest ecosystem.
