Crooked Forest fading: foresters plan new generation of trees
Only 95 of nearly 400 famous bent pines remain in Nowy Czarnów near Gryfino, likely planted around 1934. Gryfino Forest District and West Pomeranian University of Technology are working to restore the forest: monitoring seeds from the original trees and testing mechanical stem shaping. Preliminary results are expected in early 2027, with first attempts to bend young trees planned for autumn. New pines will reach historical size in 30–40 years.
