Kamienieckie Wąwozy nature reserve named after Prof. Janina Jasnowska

Kamienieckie Wąwozy is a floristic reserve in Kołbaskowo municipality, on the edge of the Lower Oder Valley, right by the border with Germany. It was established in February 2023, and the name was given in honour of Prof. Janina Jasnowska, a geobotanist and peat specialist who contributed to the creation of many protected areas in West Pomerania. It covers 95.78 ha.

What the reserve protects

The main aim is to maintain the population of the small corydalis (Corydalis intermedia), which grows here in the greatest numbers in Poland. The area is made up of ravines with springs and spring-fed bogs, riparian forests along the streams, higher up oak-hornbeam woods and oak woods, and between them glades with xerothermic grasslands. It is also a nesting place of the white-tailed eagle. On one of the hills inside the reserve there is a settlement of the Lusatian culture and an early medieval hillfort known as Święta Góra.
