Did
your family lose property in Eastern Poland during World War 2?
The Government of Poland is offering compensation for property left in the
former eastern territories of Poland because of the war. Compensation is
at 20% of the current value of the land and buildings.
Compensation is fully funded by the sale of government property.
Nearly $100 million has already been awarded.
If you wish to make a claim for compensation you do not have to live in
Poland today but you have only until the end of 2008 to apply!
It is very important to register your claim before the 31st December 2008.

Survey of mushroom
collecting
Reforesting Scotland
is carrying out a survey
of fungi harvesting in order to understand gathering on a national
scale. Gathering fungi appears to be becoming increasingly popular and
we want to ensure that this continues to be something everyone can enjoy.
The survey will inform our work promoting sustainable wild harvesting.
We know how fond Polish people are of fungi, so I would particularly like
to target the community in Scotland and to harness the knowledge that
a well established harvesting culture could bring for the sustainability
of fungi harvesting in Scotland.
