THE POSSIBILITIES OF USING MONUMENTAL PROTECTION OBJECTS IN THE ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION IN ZAWOJA
Journal Title: Zarządzanie ochroną przyrody w lasach - Year 2015, Vol 0, Issue 1
Abstract
At the Polish area 36,353 monuments of nature are now protected by law, of which the majority are trees (94.7%), about 111,100 pieces. Of these, 132 trees are located in the area of Podbabiogórze, and most northern foothills of the Babia Mountain area in Zawoja commune, in which the protection of individual trees covered 12 single trees and 5 groupings: a total of 37 trees. Most of the trees were protected under legal protection even a few decades ago. Since then their health status usually has not been checked. Often, some of these trees have been damaged and their surroundings overgrown, they are difficult to reach. These trees have not been used in education and tourism, despite the high possibility of using them in environmental education. Therefore,the paper recognises monumental trees in the area of Zawoja and the nature trail is proposed. The project path is designed for individual tourists and school groups at a length of 10 km. There are intended 9 parking spaces set around monumental trees. At every point it is proposed to provide information about individual species of trees and on the functioning of life in the treetops. Moreover, it is proposed to provide information on historic buildings coming within the vicinity of these trees.
