\ Białowieża Forest (Puszcza Białowieska) is now Europe's last primeval forest. It is located in the East of Poland, across around 3 000 square kilometers and is a National Park. The UNESCO heritage site is the home of 800 bison, the heaviest land animal in Europe. /
Growing up in Poland I was aware of this particular forest colony, but I didn't realise it was the last of its kind in Europe.
Feeling connected with the subject I would like to focus more on Polish forests and forestry around in those parts.

Last month I flew to Poland and spent two weeks in an area that was mainly just forest land and lakes. The greenery over there is very different to the British flora and I think it's very interesting to see those differences. Pine woods are very common in Poland and so far they are my favourite - they carry a lot of nostalgia but also the smell is much more interesting than in a 'normal' leaf wood.
