For many years there has been periodic discussion of the intention to divide the administrative division of the Mazovian Voivodeship by separating from it a province encompassing Warsaw and surrounding counties. The discussion on this subject intensified in 2020 after statements by representatives of the ruling party, according to which the above division would be carried out in 2021.

The importance of multiculturalism for the development of tourism, consistently emphasized in the literature, shows the long history and rich tradition of this form of tourism. Poland has historically been a land of transition between East and West, a land where different cultures have existed side by side: German, Jewish, Polish, and Russian. For centuries Poland was a meeting place of different religions and cultures and today’s landscape still shows evidence of this. The catastrophe of World War II brought the annihilation of a multicultural society and created a homogeneity, unprecedented in our history.

Kurpiowszczyzna is one of the most interesting ethnographic regions, with a center of original, well-preserved and carefully cultivated Kurpie folk culture. The image of the Kurpie village is the result of centuries of human activity. Over the centuries there have been transformations of the landscape, based on the adaptation of the natural environment to cultivate the land and the gradual establishment of human settlements, which have given the modern image.

The article presents the application of the method of biocenotic evaluation of trees in the park “Villa Mindic” (Moldova). When conducting the inventory, preliminary design decisions were taken into account, which also influenced the determination of tree values. Extending the valorization of the plants with a study of their health status, including safety for people, the results were obtained, which served to make the design. Places were selected that, regardless of the conditions, must ensure safe stay, fragments of the area where visiting the park is restricted, and those where, due to high biocenotic values, including protection of breeding and reproduction sites of animals, traffic routes and rest areas are not envisaged.
