Kampinos wetland rewetting PL Regional Scalability plan

The Regional Scalability Plan "Flowing Mazovia" aims to improve the conservation status of wetlands in Mazovia. The document describes an action plan for improving hydrological conditions in the region through the transfer of knowledge and experience from the Kampinos National Park to the surrounding municipalities and the entire Mazovian Voivodeship.

The "Flowing Mazovia" plan is aimed at a wide range of stakeholders, such as the Kampinos National Park, regional and local government authorities: Marshal's Office of the Mazowieckie Voivodeship, the counties and municipalities in Mazovia, as well as the landscape parks, the Regional Directorate for Environmental Protection and the Natura 2000 areas it supervises, the State Forests, the Regional Water Management Authority in Warsaw, the State Water Management Authority, local communities and non-governmental organisations, as well as representatives of scientific institutions.

The aim of "Flowing Mazovia" is to engage, advise and collaborate. Through wetland restoration activities and building public awareness and support, we plan to jointly disseminate the experience and knowledge of Kampinos National Park in implementing effective wetland protection and restoration. We will scale up by multiplying projects on a micro and macro scale.

The document divides the upscaling process into three scales. The scale of the Kampinos National Park (KNP) is where technical restoration goals are put into practice and sustainable water management is already implemented. The KNP buffer zone, comprising eight municipalities in the immediate vicinity of the Park, two districts of the City of Warsaw and three poviats, is the area where the implementation of restoration measures is planned. And the entire Mazowieckie Voivodeship is a zone where scaling up will be based on promoting wetland restoration and raising awareness of the importance of wetland protection and sustainable water management for biodiversity, but also for our society.

Flowing Mazovia was created thanks to the support of the Coordinating Council and the Office of the Marshal of the Mazovian Voivodeship. We would like to thank everyone who contributed to its creation.
