You are warmly invited to a webinar entitled "How to Utilize Plant Occurrence Data Using the GBIF Repository", presented by Dr. Agnieszka Bugaj-Nawrocka from the University of Silesia on June 25, 2024, at 9:00 AM.

They are characterized by their own ways of perceiving the reality around them.

Botanical gardens play an extremely important role in biodiversity conservation, nature education and scientific research. They are also exceptional places for recreation.

Our Kórnik Arboretum is an extraordinary facility - and for many reasons. For the staff of the Institute of Dendrology PAS, it is an irreplaceable training ground for research.
