Technical remarks

Some technical remarks based on the previous course experiences and practical knowledge about the Biebrza Valley 'moods' have to be made: we will leave Warsaw for the course on Monday morning, therefore, it is strongly advisable to arrive to Warsaw at least a night before; due terrain conditions and changing character of the June's weather in the Biebrza Valley participants are required to bring solid trekking shoes, rubber boots and raincoats. Mosquito and flies repellents will be granted by the organizers.

Organizers expect participants to arrive on time, well prepared (presentations and good mood) and equipped (boots etc.), to participate actively in the field trips, indoor sessions, measurements and as well social life.
