Portrait of a Living Marsh. Biebrza ,Northeast Poland. Robin D’Arcy Shillcock

A land, where centuries-old traditions of farming, have existed in harmony with a nature rich in plant and animal life. Here it is still possible to meet with elk, beaver and wolf. Over 230 species of birds can be found, and many plants unique to the area. 32 artists from 15 countries lived for two weeks in a village on the edge of the marshes recording the many memorable sights they found and saw.

“An eloquent testimony to the concern of artists for the future of the natural world”

HRH Prince Philip. President WWF
