The Biodiversity Protection Team hosted children from a kindergarten in Ruciane-Nida in October. Katarzyna Borońska, Anna Kononiuk and Anna Korzekwa prepared activities through which children learned about the research and other activities of the IARFR PAS research station in Popielno, including initiatives aimed at protecting the environment. The youngest visited the station’s animal pens with the scientists, where they could see cows, mules, sheep and other interesting animals. Another stop was a visit to the museum, located in a historic granary from the mid-18th century. The preschoolers also participated in experiments and could see what a scientist’s work looks like in the laboratory.

We would like to thank the preschoolers and educators for their visit and interest in the Institute’s activities, and the Biodiversity Protection Team staff for organising the visit for our youngest visitors.
