Middle Warta River Valley
Key features of the case study
This restoration project was implemented as compensation to loss of ecologically important part of Middle Warta River Valley (Natura2000 site) due to construction of the A2 motorway. Compensation activities aimed for restoration of habitats partly devastated by the earlier hydrotechnical works in the valley of the Warta and in turn to create condition for restoring old ornithological values in this area.
