It is extremely important for local communities to get to know better the natural areas of the border, which should be jointly protected. It was of great importance also for the nature itself, which thanks to the project activities is better protected and has a better chance of surviving in the least changed possible extent for future generations. The project assumed an analysis of the natural and landscape potential of the borderland, the creation of an image folder and a website. The Nature Chamber was established, where educational and demonstration activities were carried out. There were also soft activities in the form of open-air photography and painting, away workshops, competitions and conferences.

The main activities carried out under the project:
