Tourist - educational path "TREES OF THE WORLD"
The Kórnik Arboretum boasts a rich collection of woody plants from different parts of the world. The tourist-educational path "TREES OF THE WORLD" presents 25 selected tree species found in the wild in North America, Asia and Europe. They illustrate the diversity of trees in terms of crown habit, leaf structure, flowers and fruits. Also presented are the relationship of man with trees, their importance in tradition and culture, as well as their utilitarian and medicinal values.
The "TREES OF THE WORLD" path was created in 2010 as part of a project co-financed by the European Union, with support from the Municipality of Kórnik and the Kórnik Plant Foundation.
