A nature interpretation trail located entirely on the church tower has been opened by Ms Ewa Mańkowska, Vice-Marshall of the dolnośląskie voivodeship (Marshall = head of regional parliament) in the village of Głębowice (municipality of Wińsko, SW Poland).
Much space on the trail was dedicated to bats and their protection. For instance different kinds of bat boxes constructed specially for these mammals are exhibited in the rooms and outer walls of the tower. In the crypt under the tower, large plate explains the specifics of nature conservation in the sacred buildings, with special focus on the PODKOWIEC+ and the Horseshoe bat Land. The visitors find leaflets and postcards produced for the PODKOWIEC+ project.
The renovation of the tower was supported by the Dolnośląskie Voivodeship Regional Operational Programme for 2007-2013 and the Polska Miedź Foundation as a part of the project “Creation of the nature trails and rebuilding and adaptation of the Głębowice church tower for the education on Natura 2000 Dolina Łachy site”. The tower was adopted to host birds, bats and insects, and the appropriate animal accommodation infrastructure was financed from the Fund for Nature – a joint programme of the Grupa Energa company and the Nature Foundation “pro Natura”.
