The methodology of this study is based on questionnaire survey focusing on 242 teachers in Tao Yuan country who have participated in environmental education workshops. 178 valid questionnaires were retrieved, the retrieve rate being 74 percent. Results of this study: 1. Investigating background variables, only two variants show significant difference: the part-time administrative positions a subject holds, and whether or not the subject had experience of holding field trips at leisure farms. This evidence shows that school administration managers such as the principle and directors have taken notice of leisure farm field trips, and have actually participated in them. 2. For the time being, most field trips held in leisure farms are designed as one-day courses. 79 percent of the main guides are staff of the farms, and 77 percent of field trip activities are hand-craft making 3. By examining the cognition of subjects toward leisure farm environmental education and the reasons subjects choose to hold field trips at leisure farms, this study found that subjects hold positive attitude toward using leisure farms as educational resource, and tend to use the environmental resource of leisure farms as material of course activities. 4. The fact that teachers need support for environmental education from leisure farms and school administration shows that the main demand of teachers for using leisure farms to proceed environmental education is assistance from environmental education professionals and human resource (such as teachers, parents and volunteers).
