Active conservation measures in the Czerwone bog woodland reserve

We have started active conservation of valuable wetland habitats in the Czerwone bog woodland reserve.

What exactly are we doing? The measures consist of:

  • construction of infrastructure to prevent water outflow (dams and gates) as well as modernization of dikes and liquidation of drainage ditches;
  • cutting down undesirable pine thickets from the dome and the edge of the peat bog;
  • construction and modernization of tourist infrastructure (wooden footbridges), channeling tourist traffic.

We take these measures to improve water conditions, restore the forestless nature of the overgrowing peat bog, and stop unfavorable changes in the vegetation structure, as well as reduce anthropogenic pressure in the reserve area.

The Nature and Human Foundation, one of the project partners, is responsible for the above-mentioned actions.

„Carpathians Unite Conservation of Orawsko-Nowotarskie Peatlands” benefits from a 849 910 EUR grant from Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway through the EEA Grants. The aim of the project is to protect valuable natural habitats: a raised bog and marshy forest communities in its vicinity, located in the Czerwone bog woodland nature reserve (one of the Polish Ramsar sites), as well as other wetland ecosystems in the Orawsko-Nowotarskie Peatlands complex. Co-financing from the state budget amounts to 149 984 EUR.
