Nature reserve Żurawiniec in Poznań, Nature reserve in northern Poznań, Poland
The Żurawiniec reserve encompasses 1.67 hectares of transitional peatland formed in a post-glacial channel with a small water reservoir in its southern section.
The nature reserve received official protection status in 1959 through the initiative of Helena Szafran to safeguard the unique peatland vegetation communities.
The reserve and surrounding Piątkowski Forest serve as an educational resource for local schools and universities studying natural ecosystems within urban environments.
A water supply system installed in 2015 helps maintain appropriate groundwater levels necessary for the preservation of the peat bog ecosystem.
The reserve contains several plant species rarely found within Poznań city limits, despite the environmental pressures from surrounding residential developments.
