Zespół Lubelskich Parków Krajobrazowych / Lublin Landscape Parks Unit

The landscape park is one of the 10 statutory forms of nature protection in Poland. According to the definition, it includes "protected area due to natural, historical and cultural values and landscape values in order to preserve and popularize these values in conditions of sustainable development." (Art. 16.1 of the Act on Nature Conservation). The first landscape park in Poland (Suwalski) was established in 1976. Currently there are 122 landscape parks in our country, which cover approx. 8% of its area. The Lublin Voivodeship is the third largest in Poland. There are 17 landscape parks covering over 9.5% of its area. The first landscape park (Kazimierski) was established here in 1979. These are the areas of protected landscape, of which there are 17 in the Lublin region (see map), which is administered by the Lublin Landscape Parks Unit (ZLPK).

 Fields of activity of the ZLPK are set out in the Act on Nature Conservation and the Statute. The unit's task is primarily to protect nature on the administered areas. There are active protection activities (suspension of bird boxes, active protection of steppe grasslands).
