Narew Landscape Park
landscape park of Poland
Narew Landscape Park (Narwiański Park Krajobrazowy) was a Polish Landscape Park designated protected area within Podlaskie Voivodeship in northeastern Poland.
Geography
The Landscape Park protects an area of 73.50 square kilometres (28.38 sq mi). It was established in 1985, and is a Natura 2000 EU Special Protection Area.
History
It was established in the then Białystok Voivodeship under the Resolution of the Provincial National Council in Białystok of September 30, 1985. In 1989, by virtue of the resolution of WRN in Łomża, the areas belonging to the then Łomża Voivodeship were incorporated into the Park. The main task of the Park Management in the first years of its operation was to restore the section of the Narew Valley between Żółtki and the Rzędziany-Pańka dyke in order to restore the boggy and natural character. At that time, until 1990, the director of the Landscape Park was Bolesław Bielicki; in 1991 this function was performed by Witold Rurarz-Lipiński, and from the end of 1991 to the beginning of 1994 — by Andrzej Grygoruk (who also served as director in the years 1990–1991). In 1996, the Narew Landscape Park was transformed into the Narew National Park.

Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Narew Landscape Park”, the useful work is to connect “landscape park of Poland” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
The strongest evidence will usually combine a dated visual record with documents produced by the authority responsible for the place. The source revision retrieved here is dated Feb 24, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q595996. VIAF identifies the subject as 163190128. Authority coordinates are 53.051, 22.905. 2 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1985, 2000, 1989 and 1990.
A single description cannot reconcile every naming convention, rebuilding phase or administrative transfer associated with a place. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
