What Zespół Parków Krajobrazowych Województwa Łódzkiego does

Zespół Parków Krajobrazowych Województwa Łódzkiego (ZPKWŁ) is a regional government institution (jednostka organizacyjna samorządu województwa) headquartered at ul. Solna 14, Łódź, Poland, tasked under the Polish Nature Protection Law of April 16, 2004 with managing all seven landscape parks in the Łódź Voivodeship — collectively covering approximately 175,000 hectares, or nearly 10% of the region's territory. The parks under its administration are Park Krajobrazowy Wzniesień Łódzkich, Bolimowski Park Krajobrazowy (est. 1986), Spalski, Sulejowski, Przedborski, Załęczański, and Park Krajobrazowy Międzyrzecza Warty i Widawki, delivered through a headquarters plus five regional branches located in Łódź, Moszczenica, Przedbórz, Sieradz, and Skierniewice. The organization is led by Director Katarzyna Krakowska with Deputy Director Sławomir Walczak.

ZPKWŁ's core operations span nature and landscape protection, active conservation projects (species monitoring, habitat restoration, biodiversity work), inventory of natural and historical objects, environmental education programs for schools and the public, spatial planning opinions, tree-felling review, and tourism infrastructure management across hiking trails and visitor centers. It distributes services through direct park access (free of charge), educational field programs, ranger enforcement, and event-based outreach such as the VIII Przedborska Dycha running event and Nordic Walking rallies. Communication channels include parkilodzkie.pl, Facebook, and YouTube.

The business model is fully public-sector: there is no commercial revenue and park access is free. Funding comes from the Łódź Voivodeship budget, EU structural and environmental programs, and the Voivodeship Environmental Protection Fund (WFOŚIGW). The organization's strategic direction is shaped by EU project cycles and statutory obligations rather than market competition, and it pursues co-funded programs such as "Zazieleniamy Łódzkie 2026," "Owocowe Łódzkie," "BioGov," "Owoce Pamięci," and "Aktywności turystyczne" in partnership with the Marshal's Office and other public bodies.

Direct peers

• Zespół Parków Krajobrazowych Województwa Małopolskiego: Regional government body managing landscape parks across Małopolskie Voivodeship under the same statutory framework. Comparable in mandate (conservation, education, tourism, planning opinions), multi-branch operating model, and EU-funded project mix.
• Zespół Parków Krajobrazowych Województwa Śląskiego: Regional landscape park authority covering Śląskie Voivodeship. Direct counterpart to ZPKWŁ in scope of services, governance structure (regional self-government unit), and reliance on WFOŚIGW and EU funding.
• Zespół Parków Krajobrazowych Województwa Mazowieckiego: Regional government unit (zespoły parków krajobrazowych) managing all landscape parks in the Mazowieckie Voivodeship under the same Law on Nature Protection. Operationally identical: nature conservation, environmental education, tourism, and spatial planning opinions across multiple parks and branches.
• Zespół Parków Krajobrazowych Województwa Podkarpackiego: Regional landscape park authority covering Podkarpackie Voivodeship under the same Nature Protection Act. Comparable remit, multi-park portfolio, and reliance on EU and voivodeship funding for conservation and education.
• Zespół Parków Krajobrazowych Województwa Wielkopolskiego: Regional government unit managing landscape parks in Wielkopolskie Voivodeship. Functionally equivalent across park management, environmental education, and conservation project execution; useful benchmark for staffing, branch network, and program delivery.

Broad incumbents

• Kampinoski Park Narodowy: Polish national park adjacent to the Warsaw metropolitan area. While a national park has higher protection status than landscape parks, it operates a comparable suite of services (visitor access, education, conservation projects) under the same Nature Protection Act.
• Lasy Państwowe (State Forests): National Forest Holding managing Poland's state forest estate. While its core mandate is forestry rather than landscape-park administration, it is a major public-sector land manager in Łódzkie and a frequent operational partner (e.g., joint events, education) for ZPKWŁ branches.

Regional players

• Parki Krajobrazowe Województwa Kujawsko-Pomorskiego: Landscape park management structure for Kujawsko-Pomorskie Voivodeship. Operates under the same Nature Protection Act with similar park-management, education, and tourism responsibilities, providing a comparable regional benchmark in a different geography.

Others

• Nadleśnictwa in Łódź Voivodeship (e.g., Nadleśnictwo Piotrków, Smardzewice): Local forest districts under Lasy Państwowe operating within Łódź Voivodeship. Documented operational partners of ZPKWŁ branches (joint events, council meetings), making them directly comparable as on-the-ground conservation and education delivery partners.
• Regionalna Dyrekcja Ochrony Środowiska w Łodzi (RDOŚ Łódź): Regional directorate of the General Directorate for Environmental Protection in Łódź. Coordinates environmental impact assessments, Natura 2000 site oversight, and protected-area policy — closely aligned with ZPKWŁ's planning-review and conservation remit.
