Poland plans to establish new nature reserves, including Mirachowska Struga and Pamięcińskie Lasy Zboczowe, by the end of the year.
Poland plans to establish dozens of new nature reserves by the end of this year, as part of the initiative marking 100 years of the State Forests. Over 200 new proposals were submitted earlier this year, and more than 140 are now under review. The aim is to designate 80 new reserves, with some already undergoing thorough environmental evaluations.
Mirachowska Struga: A Pristine Wetland
One of the proposed reserves is the Mirachowska Struga, located in the Kartuzy Forest District. The area boasts well-preserved peat bogs, riparian forests, and rare species, including beetles and the endangered minnow Lampetra planeri.
Pamięcińskie Lasy Zboczowe: A Limestone Paradise
Another proposed site is Pamięcińskie Lasy Zboczowe in the Rzepin Forest District, a picturesque forested area on the banks of the Oder River. It is home to majestic trees and abundant springs.
A Complex Process for Nature Protection
The process of establishing new reserves is meticulous and requires detailed field studies. Local environmental authorities will determine when each reserve is officially designated.
