DENDROFLORA OF UNIEJÓW CEMETERIES – THE STATE AND PROTECTION ISSUES

Summary/Abstract: The study encompasses trees, bushes and shrubs in eight locations in Uniejów municipality. Four of them are cemeteries adjoining churches, and four are regular cemeteries. They are situated in Uniejów, Wilamów, Spycimierz and Wielenin. The studied dendroflora comprises 22 species of trees, 10 species of shrubbery and one species of creeper. Half of the taxons are species or varieties of gymnosperms trees and bushes, most of them planted not long ago (not more than 20 years ago). The richest dendroflora is found at cemeteries in Uniejów (23 taxons) and Wielenin (19 taxons). The most commonly found tree is Tilia cordata, and the species found in most of the locations is Thuja occidentalis. 14 monument- size trees have been found, and a proposal to put them under legal protection has been submitted.
