This year, the time has come for a second meeting with the Advisory Committee of our project, which includes: prof. dr hab. Zbigniew Kundzewicz, Head of the Department of Climate and Water Resources Research, Institute of Agricultural and Forest Environment of the Polish Academy of Sciences, an employee of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, prof. dr hab.

Discussion on the results of research carried out so far and plans for further stages of the project took place on 19 September in place as beautiful as last year. This year we visited the Institute of Dendrology of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Kórnik, where we could admire the local arboretum. Now that we have been enriched with constructive criticism and words of support from such prominent specialists, all we have to do is make the necessary adjustments and move on. You can read about the results of the next research within the project in the next news!

We have finished our first excursion! We have conducted a pilot study of geosurvey, and we have also taken many photos. More importantly, we have met the representatives of the Municipal Office of the City of Racibórz, and County Office of Nysa County. The future cooperation looks very encouraging! We would like to thank for the friendly reception and interesting suggestions.
