Załęcze Nature Park founded in 1978 protects the natural
scenery of the most northern part of the Jurassic Cracow-Wieluń
Uplands. Genesis of the park, its natural resources and their
previous utilization, as well as scientific, educational, aesthetic
and recreational values are described. The park is highly useful
for recreation of people, for study and for teaching of the Earth
history, geomorphological processes, human impact on the environment,
flora and fauna. There have been preserved here historical
monuments of material culture, relicts of old customs, and historical
character of the landscape. One of important tasks of the
park alongside its teaching and recreational values is the fact
that it is to serve the ecological education of young people within
programmes carried out by the Polish Pathfinders’ Association. The
Association has its field station and training centre here; it
conducts pathfinders’ camps, and carries its patronage over the
park (for summary see page 62-65).Zadanie pt. „Digitalizacja i udostępnienie w Cyfrowym Repozytorium Uniwersytetu Łódzkiego kolekcji czasopism naukowych wydawanych przez Uniwersytet Łódzki” nr 885/P-DUN/2014 zostało dofinansowane ze środków MNiSW w ramach działalności upowszechniającej naukę
