National parks in Poland have a 70 year history. The majority of the national parks are composed predominantly of forest. The rest of the area is covered by dunes, peat bogs, marshes, rocks and terrain above the upper limit of the forest. Spider on water plants Areas that are a part of national forests are under strict, partial or landscape protection. Strict protection means that people do not interfere with nature, so that it can regulate itself.
People only observe the changes and discover their mechanisms.
Landscape protection consists of preserving in the most natural state, as much as possible such elements of the landscape as surface features, views, and buildings. In Poland there are over 6,000 ha under landscape protection. In the National Parks there are 317 plant associations. 76 of them are forest and brushwood associations. The total number of plant associations existing in Poland is 410.
