rejection of previous farming 15 years ago due to failure of state farms and changed economic conditions of agricultural economy generally caused a heavy lose in value of nature also in The Lower Odra River Valley Landscape Park, a part called Kostrzyniecke Rozlewisko (Kostrzynieckie Flooding).It is a part of NATURA 2000 area, bird habitat PLB 320003.
Project aims in restoration of previous value of this area and restitution of previously met many bird's species, including aquatic warbler by mowing and bush clearing from over 100ha of flooded land, what should bring back a very valuable mosaic of habitats and restore biodiversity.Sustainability of these initial steps is secured by introduction of donation system from EU in 2007 for special activities preserving natural value of meadows and pastures. Local farmers are included in GAJA activities , so another aim is to bring back extensive farming preserving requested values by wider participation of farmers .
A manual will be produced for farmers and other users (agricultural advicers, local governments) how to manage this kind of flooded meadows and pastures and how to cope with requirements of eco-agro EU policy and system of subsidies protecting valuable land.j
