From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Towarzystwo Bory Dolnośląskie, TBD (Polish: The Lower Silesia Deep Woods Appreciation Society), established in 2000 in Szprotawa, is the regional nature conservation and historical preservation agency, as well as a promoter of local tourism.

TBD has established the following entities:

• Muzeum Ziemi Szprotawskiej (Museum of the Szprotawa Land),
• "Bunkrowe Wzgórza" Nature Preserve, near the former Soviet airbase in nearby Wiechlice.

It also leads the development of "Nature Reserve Park Słowiański" in Szprotawa. Its most important academic work, carried out at the Museum, is investigating the Silesia Walls. It publishes books on local history and archeology, as well as items promoting local natural assets, particularly old woodlands.
