Wind Conference - Wind Energy and Birds

For the second time, the State Forests participated in the Wind Conference – Wind Energy and Birds organized by the Association for Supporting Bird-Friendly Investments. This event focused entirely on the impact of onshore and offshore wind farms on birds.

In Gdańsk, an international team of speakers and experts met to discuss research on environmental impact assessments, advanced technologies, as well as project management in wind energy.

The conference provided participants with insights into:

  • challenges and practices in protecting birds from collisions at wind farms,
  • best practices,
  • previous research experiences and case studies from wind energy investments.

Representing the State Forests at the event was Jerzy Fijas – Deputy Director General for Sustainable Forest Management – who led a mini-panel on wind farms in forests based on Swedish experiences and the pilot Polish project "Forest of Energy" #ForestofEnergy.
