Ostoja Goleniowska encompasses mostly economic forests, however transformed by forestry business only to a small extent. Types of forest which grow here correspond with local soils and habitat conditions. Our special attention deserves developing population of yew - a species which has been almost completely thinned out. Few remaining stands are usually taken under legal protection. Here we can observe a natural recovery of the species. The refuge is located on Pobrzeze Szczecinskie (Szczecin Shoreland) within Rownina Goleniowska (Goleniow Plain). The refuge has very irregular shape - it covers fragments of the river valleys: Gowienica, Stepnica, Wolczenica. more »
