It employs from 15 to 25 employees with specialized education in botany, zoology, forestry, and geology. It also has two Field Stations operating as education centers implementing our statutory activities.

ABOUT

I come from Lower Silesia, Poland but I found my homeland in Lubuskie – full of lakes, forests, peatlands and grasslands. Here my son grew up and here I allowed myself to root. In my free time, I ride a mountain bike and I create things – I suffer from “restless hands syndrome” 😉. 

Professionally, I’m a biologist and an accountant with many years of experience both in public and private entities. This proved to be a good combination to manage LIFE projects. Sometimes as a leader, sometimes as a backstage supporter – either way I have fun combining numbers with living organisms, bureaucracy with real life. With this approach, I managed to write dozen of successful proposals and implement several of them. While managing any project I’m trying to implement a rule of partnership – it takes a team to build success. We share our rights and responsibilities to create a good project. And I’m glad to be a part of a great Apollo team. 

#followapollo and the efforts of our team! Combined skills in breeding, conservation of habitats, research, environmental education, and project management constitute a great combination for the success of our LIFE project.
