The picnic’s participants were able to learn about EKOROB Project implementation (www.ekorob.pl) in the Pilica catchment and Sulejow Reservoir, discuss Project’s activities and results, and receive materials and leaflets presenting the Project. Competitions and attractions were prepared for children to present aspects of environmental protection and reduction of diffuse pollution, e.g. by inviting them to participate in a board game played in the open air. Correct answers and active participation were rewarded with EKOROB Project promotional gadgets. An integration bonfire with grilled sausages for the meeting participants crowned this meeting.

We congratulate the winners and participants of this tournament.
