Chronimy pomorskie rezerwaty przyrody

Project Description

Nature reserves protect the most valuable sections of the voivodeship’s natural space. They include areas preserved in their natural or little changed state, distinguished by specific natural, scientific, cultural or landscape values. Their preservation in a proper condition is conditioned by the implementation of protection measures resulting from the protection plans established for them, protection task plans or protection tasks. The project includes reserves covered by the respective tasks and for which there is an urgent need for their implementation.

The aim of the project is to protect the population of 3 plant species and 3 types of ecosystems, important from the point of view of the natural values of the voivodeship. It includes 18 nature reserves where these species and ecosystems are protected. The project will implement activities in the field of active protection, as well as limiting anthropopressure and targeting tourist traffic and monitoring.

It also includes elements of education and social dialogue. In each reserve there will be carried out protective activities planned in its protection plan or in approved protection tasks, ensuring the preservation of the species and ecosystems covered by the project and allowing sustainable use of the reserves for tourism and education purposes. These tasks are described in the feasibility study. Moreover, educational workshops for local community will be conducted in 13 communes where reserves are located in which active protection measures will be implemented,.

The project consists of 4 sub-programmes:

• Subprogramme: Protection of the population of valuable plant specie Taxus baccata; reserves: „Cisy nad Czerską Strugą”, „Cisy w Czarnem”, „Choczewskie Cisy” planned activities: – construction/maintenance of fences in the reserves – removal of blooms, undergrowth and trees competing with Lathyrus pisiformis; nature reserves: „Opalenie”; planned activities: – population metaplanation – population monitoring for Betula humilis; nature reserve: „Mętne”; planned activities: – removal of pine and birch self-seeds – population monitoring
• Subprogramme: Protection of xerothermic grasslands; reserves: „Biała Góra”, „Kwidzyńskie Ostnice”, „Miłachowo”, planned activities: – grazing livestock – construction/renewal of grazing infrastructure • Sub-programme: Protection of hydrogenic ecosystems in nature reserves: „Babnica”, „Bagno Stawek”, „Białogóra”, „Bocheńskie Błoto”, „Dolina Kulawy”, „Mechowiska Sulęczyńskie”, „Słone Łąki”; planned activities: – construction of earthfill cofferdams for closing drainage ditches – removal of expansive species (mowing) – hydrological monitoring – removal of migration barrier
• Subprogramme: Ecological education and tourist infrastructure of the following reserves: „Babnica”, „Bagno Stawek”, „Biała Góra”, „Białogóra”, „Bocheńskie Błoto”, „Cisy nad Czerską Strugą”, „Cisy w Czarnem”, „Dolina Kulawy”, „Gałęźna Góra”, „Mechowiska Sulęczyńskie”, „Mętne”, „Miłachowo”, „Opalenie”, „Słone Łąki”, „Staniszewskie Błoto”, „Widowo”
