    Tips

    May 28, 2023

    The ecological site located in the Kowadza wilderness is a modern form of legal nature protection. The subject of protection here are mainly thermo- and lime-loving grasslands located on the plateau. The annual procedures of uncovering these communities are aimed at ensuring favorable growth conditions for both the plants that form them and the rare species of insects associated with the grasslands. The rare dryad butterfly (Minois dryas), the beetle Euheptaufacus villosus and the hoverfly kuliboda (Sphaerophoria chongjini), known from only a few localities in Poland, occur here. There is also a meadow pasque flower, which is disappearing all over the country. In spring, the grasslands turn golden with yellow flowers of the sand cinquefoil, larynx and spurge.
