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.
