As part of the implementation of the integrated project “Optimization of Natura 2000 Network Management in Lithuania”, the restoration work of the Užpelkiai telmological reserve in the Samogitia National Park is gaining momentum and allows us to enjoy the first, promising results. The regulated hydrological regime creates suitable conditions for the settlement of raised bog vegetation and populations of protected aquatic animals.

What does Užpelkiai look like today? Kostas Kajėnas, the project’s communication specialist, shares images captured in Užpelkiai on an early June morning. We invite you to take a look!
