Białowieża National Park

Białowieża National Park occupies the central part of the Białowieża Forest in northeastern Poland. Its institutional history distinguishes reserves created in 1921, an administrative unit established in 1924 and the national park re-established in 1947. Its Palace Park was designed in a landscape style by Walery Kronenberg.

Editorial reading

Editorial interpretation: The sequence of reserves and administrative forms offers a way to distinguish conservation history from a single naming event. The Palace Park adds a designed landscape within the larger protected setting.
