Dear All,
This report covers the period from July 31, 2025, to December 04, 2025 and is our twenty first report on the project of Safeguarding Frogs and Birds in Masuria, Poland.
At the time we are writing this report all tree crowns in our park are without leaves because deciduous trees enter a period of dormancy, shedding leaves to conserve energy during winter. This is a natural process where trees stop producing chlorophyll as days get shorter and pull vital nutrients into their roots for storage. Some trees may also retain dead leaves through winter, which will fall later in spring or be dislodged by snow and wind.
In Poland winter in parks generally means colder weather and potentially snow from November to March, but with opportunities for winter activities and fewer crowds for a quiet experience. In a general sense, winter time in parks means fewer people, quieter trails, and a focus on cold-weather activities alongside the usual opportunities for mental health benefits.
By comparison please see a picture of our park trees in their full blown during past summer 2025.
As the year draws to a close, we reflect on the incredible difference your steadfast support has made. Wishing you a joyful holiday season filled with peace and gratitude.
Regards,
Grazyna Polkowska
