Society for Jizera Mountains, Public Benefit Organization
Společnost pro Jizerské hory, o.p.s. has been working since 1999 in region of Jizera Mountains (Jizerské hory). Our goal is to renew local natural and landscape values. Significant part of our activities is focused on nonformal education in environment field. Next to purely practical projects as avenue planting or restoration of natural areas, we work with youth and children in our Environmental Education Centre. This centre is located in Jizerka village, the highest settlement in Jizera mountains (890 m). Here far in the mountains we prepare environmental educational programs for schools and public inspired by local natural and historical features.
