Rezerwat przyrody Bagno Pogorzel

Rezerwat przyrody Bagno Pogorzel is a protected peatland in the Mińsk Mazowiecki commune consisting of open bog areas and surrounding woodlands. The landscape contains shallow water bodies, marshy zones, and varied soil moisture levels that create different habitat types.

The peatland was officially designated as a protected nature reserve by the Ministry of Environment, Natural Resources, and Forestry in 1995. This legal protection marked an important moment in safeguarding the site's sensitive wetland ecosystem.

The reserve holds meaning for conservationists and local communities as a protected space where nature operates without human interference. People recognize it as part of their region's natural heritage worth preserving.

Visitors should expect limited access to protect the reserve's sensitive habitats and breeding areas for water birds. It is wise to contact local authorities before planning a visit to understand current conditions and any restrictions.

The reserve supports a remarkable bird population with dozens of nesting species living here throughout the breeding season. Among them are uncommon birds like cranes, marsh harriers, and bitterns that rely on the bog's water and vegetation for survival.
