Summary/Abstract: Park in Wojsławice is a valuable remnant of the former manor (palace)-park complex, established at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries around the seat of the Siemiątkowski family. The original spatial arrangement of the complex has been changed as a result of changes in the form of area use after nationalization and then privatization (of a part) of the facility. At present, the flora of trees and shrubs includes 73 species (20 conifers and 53 deciduous), which represent 23 families. The characteristic component of the park are numerous magnificent specimens of European ash Fraxinus excelsior, Norway maple Acer platanoides and Canadian poplar Populus canadensis. A varied-in-species groups of trees, best preserved around the palace (the central part of the complex), are the highest value of the park. Newer elements are build mainly by the colourful varieties and forms of alien species of coniferous and deciduous shrubs. Among 281 trees and shrubs, noted in the available non-forested part of the park and nearly 300 trees noted in the forested area, which were inventoried in details, 10 trees achieve a size of natural monuments.
