Welcome to Chojnow Forests!

      Chojnow Forest Division includes area located on the left side of Vistula river, southwest by Warsaw. The Chojnow Forest Division was created in 1945 as a combination of a part of Skuly Forest Division and nationalized private forests.
      The area of state forests of Chojnow Forest Division is 10 017 hectares, and the area of supervised private forests is 4 489 hectares.
      From 1967 to the present, the average wood abundance has almost doubled, and now it's 232 m³/hectare. In the same time, the average age of the forests has increased from 39 to 57 years.
      The most important tree species are: pine (75,2%), oak (7,9%), birch (8,2%), alder (5,3%), trembling poplar (1,6%) and other (1,8%). Protective forests are 93,4% of Chojnow's total forest area.

      This screening green surrounding Warsaw, supplies the city with fresh air, and makes the opportunity to the citizens for outdoor and recreation.
      The Chojnow's forests gives also raw materials, with annual wood production of 27 000 m³, which in 85% is derived from improvement cuttings.
      On a part of a Chojnow Forest Division, Chojnowski Landscape Park is located. There is also 14 partial reserves with 291 hectares of total area. There is great variety of wildlife in the forests: reptiles (like grass-snakes and blind-worms), rare birds (like goshawks, sparrowhawks, buzzards, kingfishers and black storks), and interesting mammals (hedgehogs, badgers and pine martens). And a big diversity of amphibians exist in the Zielona river. Curious plants are represented by club-moss, lily, primrose, lily of the valley, twayblade and columbine.

      For tourists we've prepared a camping place "Zimne Doly" located on Zielona's bank (4 km far from Piaseczno and 3 km far from Zalesie Gorne) and several parkings: 2 near Sekocin (equipped with sheds and banks), 1 in Walendow, 1 in Otrebusy and 1 on the road from Piaseczno to Gora Kalwaria - in Stefanow.

      The most dangerous for the forests are irresponsible tourists. They are frequent cause of fire, that outbreaks about 40 times a year.
