At the beginning of June Institute of Biology of Maria Curie-Skłodowska University in Lublin in cooperation with Naturalists Club and Polish Botanical Association organized the conference concerning xerothermic grasslands in Poland. Over 50 peoples participated in the meeting, mainly from Poland but also from Ukraine. In general the conference addressed the problems of diversity of xerothermic flora of different regions of Poland. On the conference main aims and preliminary results of our LIFE+ project was presented by Katarzyna Barańska. Next, we moved into the field and visited several interesting xerothermic grasslands in the region.
