Planting plants and the presence of fire-bellied toads in the pond

As part of the Kampinoskie Bagna 2 project, a complex of ponds was created to strengthen the amphibian population in Kampinos National Park. These small water bodies were established at the beginning of spring, and we are now planting aquatic and riparian vegetation in these areas. Vegetation plays a key role in the ecosystem of these ponds, providing shelter, spawning grounds, and food sources for various species. The plants introduced into the ponds include reed manna grass (Glyceria maxima), marsh marigold (Caltha palustris), comfrey (Symphytum officinale), water mint (Mentha aquatica), and water lilies (Nymphaea spp.). These species not only improve water quality and stabilise the substrate but also create favourable conditions for the development of amphibians and other aquatic organisms.

The presence of fire-bellied toads, tadpoles, and grass snakes in one of the ponds in Władysławowo is a very promising sign that the newly created ecosystem is beginning to function and attract various animal species whose life cycles are closely linked to water.
