Skarżysko Cisowy reserve

Like the nearby Majdów reserve, this area is also protected for scientific and didactic purposes by the naturally occurring yew tree.

This is not an easy task, which is additionally hindered by the vicinity of the village of Hucisko and the related, even unconscious, human interference in the natural environment. Another difficulty is the lowering of the groundwater level, which significantly affected the species composition of the surrounding yew forest. Another problem is the significant progress of buckthorn, which hinders the adaptation of the yew in the undergrowth layer.
