Our team consists of experienced specialists working together for many years now with the ”Roads for Nature” Programme and Fundacja EkoRozwoju. It is not just trees that we know about, as our expertise also extends to the founding of partnerships with local governments and those managing roads and roadsides, support for partners in society working to save of trees and ways to influence the media. What unites us is our love of trees and our desire to preserve and protect them, in the interests of both people and nature.
Our activity serving trees and their protection commenced in 2007, when we launched a public campaign entitled Sadzimy dęby w Dolinie Baryczy (“Let’s plant trees in the Barycz Valley”). That was followed in 2009 by the Drogi dla Natury (“Roads for Nature”) Programme, seeking to counteract the loss of avenues and lines of roadside trees from the Polish landscape, by means of cooperation with public administration and partners in society.
We currently deal, not only with roadside trees, but with any trees located in the vicinity of people, in cities, and also in the countryside. To help with this, we have established an extensive knowledge base, brought out many publications and trained thousands of people responsible for the protection and management of trees.
Since it first arose in 1991 (then as the Fundacja Oławy i Nysy Kłodzkiej), FER has cared for trees, planted them, and stood up in their defence as necessary. In 2007, the Foundation commenced with its Sadzimy dęby w Dolinie Baryczy (“Plant Trees in the Barycz Valley”) campaign. Winning the support of partners in both local government and civil society, as well as consistent promotion in the local press, the Project worked to ensure that inhabitants of given areas came to notice their old trees (especially oaks) as key elements in that area’s identity.

The Eko-Inicjatywa Association, in operation since the year 2000, engages in environmental education and the active protection of nature, i.a. working on Reserves established to protect xerothermic vegetation, revitalising traditional orchards and monitoring for the occurrence of the hermit beetle. Since the beginning of its activity, it has had a consistent involvement in environmental education activity among the inhabitants of Kwidzyn. In that context, it has devised numerous educational programmes and lesson-plans. In recognition of its innovative approach to education and outstanding achievements in general, the organisation in 2013 won the title of “Place successfully identifying talent”, as awarded by Poland’s Minister of National Education.
