The Nida River Valley is one of the most valuable natural areas in southern Poland, distinguished by its abundance of aquatic, wetland, and riverside habitats. For centuries, the river has shaped the local landscape, providing natural water retention, fostering the growth of diverse plant and animal species, and supporting human activity. However, in recent decades, intensive hydraulic engineering and land improvement projects have significantly disrupted the natural functioning of the river and its valley.

The Natural Nida Project has begun

We are launching the project “Restoring Biodiversity in the Nida River Valley by Rebuilding Ecological Corridors and Increasing Soil Retention.” The project’s primary goal is to educate the public and promote ecological initiatives that support nature conservation and promote sustainable environmental management.
