Rewilding in Poland: Legal Guidance Notes
Our guidance notes for Poland currently cover the following broad topics:
- Managing land for rewilding purposes; and
- Legal responsibilities and liabilities.
Within those topics, there are often several notes. The content of each note is summarised below and you can either view them online or download them.
We also hope to be able to publish notes shortly covering rewilding and animals; and obtaining and protecting wild land.
