These words were reflected in the subject of the presentation -  "Nature education and the deficit of contact with nature", lecture by Tomasz Hałatkiewicz - Director of the Complex of Świętokrzyskie and Nadnidziańskie Landscape Parks. The speaker told not only about numerous educational projects but also about the new investment in the Centre for Environmental Education in Umianowice. The centre is to be operational in spring 2022;  the project was EU subsidised with PLN 15 million. The total investment cost is PLN 19.7 million. The mini-farm offers its visitors the possibility to see Polish ponies, cows, sheep and goats, observe the work on such a farm and even help in farm activities. One
