Wiejkowski Las Nature Reserve

The Wiejkowski Las forest reserve covers 130.09 ha on moraine hills in Wolin and Przybiernów municipalities. It is overgrown with old-growth forest, and around it lie swamp and damp forests, peat bogs, lakes and small rivers.

What the reserve protects

The reserve was established on 12 August 2008 on the initiative of Tomasz Szeszycki. It consists of two enclaves: a larger one, 2 km south-east of Lake Ostrowo and 2.5 km west of Brzozowo, and a smaller one, 2.5 km south-south-west of Lake Ostrowo and 1.7 km east of Siniechowo. It protects pine forests and swamp forests, raised bogs, eutrophic lakes in the forest and a rich population of bog-myrtle and yew. In 2016 the reserve was named after Zbigniew Wabiszczewicz, a long-serving forester from Wiejkówko. It is supervised by the Rokita Forest District.
