LIDICKEN 1981 Sept. 12 cont. 25,000 people. Roman went over the plan in detail & we walked around many areas. The children in the local school are being taught about the changes to come. The area will have green belts & a restored river with low disapproval recently become of drifting water table levels - due partly at least to a canal nearby which connects two river systems. I took a picture of an old green tree ( date?) which is an example of a class II trees registered by the State & labelled as protected. There are also some policy of natural vegetation connecting interior park areas with those on preservation. Also bicycle paths. It is a flat area with sandy dune ridges interspersed with fertile agricultural soils. Train, bus, & highway transportation will be provided. Currently the area is one hour by train from Warsaw because of indirect routes. There are drive to other side of Wista & edge of Kampinos Forest where I had gone earlier with Pizowski's. The swamp basin here is a closed wetland which used to be a lake, but is now a swamp because of drifting water table levels. In this swamp lives an isolated population of microstar organisms. We walked around swamp following a sandy ridge to a click (~ 130 m. elevation) which is the highest point for 100 km around Warsaw. We collected a few specimens of a plant ( Umbelliferae ) to feed to a land Papilio while Roman is keeping a L:1 flag.
