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.
