Like a Sponge. On Mountain Forests and Water Retention is a guidebook that blends field exploration, ecological activism, and artistic sensitivity. It leads through the mountain valleys, peat bogs, and streams of southern Poland, showing how nature—especially old forests—acts like a sponge: retaining water, preventing drought, and mitigating the effects of floods.
The guide is intended for all nature lovers, regardless of age.
Inside, you’ll find:
- six hiking routes following water, sphagnum moss, beavers, and forests,
- personal stories, field observations, and reflections by the authors,
- accessible and engaging ecological knowledge,
- suggested mindfulness practices and ways to connect with nature,
- inspiration for action to protect the environment—with care, respect, and grounding.
It’s an invitation to see the forest and water differently—through experience, the senses, and relationship.
