Nature Workshops

As part of the project, a series of one-day field workshops on nature conservation is planned to be organized in 10 Natura 2000 areas located on military grounds in Poland. The workshops are aimed at various target groups, including both individuals responsible for these areas and land users (approximately 50 people from each region). The workshops aim to present the natural values of military areas and the role of military institutions in nature conservation and environmental protection.

Representatives from local governments, non-governmental organizations, the scientific community, and foresters are also invited to attend the field meetings. The workshops aim to promote cooperation between civilian and military institutions and, more broadly, to increase the project's reach and disseminate its results.

The planned total number of workshop participants is 500 people in total.

In the second quarter of 2023, four nature workshops were conducted:

- Nature Workshop PLH180013: Ostoja Góry Słonne , Date of organization: May 16, 2023

- Nature Workshop PLC140001: Kampinos Forest , Date of organization: May 18, 2023

Training

The activity will aim to provide training for users of the information system developed as part of the project, covering its operation and utilization in daily work. Additionally, it will involve training for employees of the Ministry of National Defense and system administrators in terms of editing, updating, and adding new items and attributes to the system's database.

The task will involve conducting 5 one-day training sessions, during which the training of at least 250 individuals is planned.
