The organiser of the seminar on ”Historical Parks – Protection and Conservation,” held in Warsaw on 16-17 June 2009, was the National Heritage Board of Poland. The seminar was attended by the staff of the voivodeship offices for the protection of historical monuments and their delegatures dealing with historical vegetation, representatives of science, and employees of the National Heritage Board of Poland. The purpose of the seminar was to discuss numerous essential questions pertaining to the protection and conservation of historical parks and gardens, the state of their preservation, and the ways of their administration and use. The participants also considered problems associated with the creation by the National Board of a new reference list of historical parks and gardens for the National Fund for the Protection of the Natural Environment and Water Management, while a representative of the Fund defined the tasks that this institution can finance. One of the seminar blocks dealt with tree cultivation, and the debates ended with a presentation of examples of historical parks and gardens, which in recent years were subjected to conservation. The next meeting will be held in 2010.
