Adoption of the trees

Save the nature of the Rospuda Valley!

Defenders of Rospuda Valley come the camp taking a leave from their work or studies and need food, gas for cooking or more warm clothing. We need more funds to buy more ropes and climbing gear, to build “nests” in the trees and to transport all the materials and people.

We also need money to cover the campaign and organization costs (phone bills, printing of materials, internet costs etc).

All over the world our organization doesn’t accept any funding from governments or companies. We act thanks to financial help of our individual supporters like you!

Now you can adopt the tree in the valley and help us!

You can adopt as many trees and you want!. Symbolic adoption of one tree is worth only 5 PLN (about €1,3 or $1,7)

Attention!
Due the specifics of banking system your adoption is not visible immediately in your profile. Immediately after you make a donation in your profile you will be able to see the information about your request to adopt given number of trees. After we receive your donation on our bank account you will see the number of adopted trees.

More trees you decide to symbolically adopt, more help and power you deliver to our campaign!

THE MANIFESTO OF THE REPUBLIC OF THE ROSPUDA VALLEY

We are here because we believe that the unspoiled nature of the Rospuda Valley should be preserved and left intact for future generations.

We are not against building a bypass for the city of Augustow. On the contrary, we realize the urgent need to solve tremendous communication problems of this city. However, we are against building the road through the widest and wildest part of the valley. It's construction would require building a 500 meters long causeway on pillars over a wetland. It would have disastrous ecological, financial and legal consequences. It could result in the European Union imposing penalties on Poland and bringing the construction to a halt, but the Rospuda Valley would have been destroyed by then.

We support building the motorway along the alternative route – it will solve the problems of the city of Augustów as well as allow to protect this valuable area.

If the chainsaws win again, many plant, bird and mammal species will disappear from the Rospuda Valley. We oppose it because there are no wetlands like Rospuda Valley anywhere west of the Ural Mountains. For much too long consecutive governments have been destroying something we all depend on – the wild nature.

Don't stand by, join us!
