ZAKOLE WAWERSKIE
Zakole Wawerskie is a beautiful, wild wetland located in Warsaw Poland.

SPATIAL ARRANGEMENT
Zakole is made up of 3 major types of natural spaces, whilst it sits beside the busy highways, hiding its river bed, Kanal Wawerskie, which boundaries the start of the wetlands.
Zakole has vast meadows, as shown on the map above. The meadows are home to many species, such as grazing deer’s and pheasants that roam the land.
After the meadows, you then begin to reach the Alder forests. Alder is the most common species of tree to be found in wetland forests. The Alder improves the soil fertility, with deep roots that maintain the ground for the wetlands and reduce erosion.
Amongst the Alder, peat bogs surround the trees which lead towards Kanal Wawerskie. The peat bogs are able to absorb vast amounts of liquid, which prevents surrounding areas from flooding. The bogs are made up from dead plant material such as moss.
Surrounding Zakole, are highways, roads and buildings.
