The author of the text of the song and the call “Darz Bór” is a forester, engineer Stanislaw Wyrwinski, who wrote it for the General Meeting of Foresters of Greater Poland and Pomerania, held in 1920. The author, was guided by the desire to integrate Polish foresters and hunters and to eliminate greetings alien to our tradition, which remained after the partitions. The phrase “Darz Bór” was quickly adopted as a traditional formula uttered when greeting, and less often when bidding farewell to foresters and hunters, also as a form of wishing them good luck in hunting: “may the bór give you, that is, may it bestow upon you, bring you gifts.” The song “Darz Bór” to the tune of the First Brigade has become the informal anthem of Polish foresters and hunters. Linguists believe that the correct form of the forest call is written in lowercase - “darzbor”, justifying it by grammatical convention. However, some in the forestry and hunting community (Little Forest Encyclopedia) choose the original form “Darz Bór!”, used by the creator of the forestry call himself, Stanislaw Wyrwinski. Supporters of the spelling of the word “Bór” with a capital letter and separately believe that it is not accidental, that in this way the author elevates the forest to the status of an eternal natural entity, bestowing on it respect and dignity as a place of work and passion. It is more than a mere word - it is a symbol of tradition and professional brotherhood that reflects the spirit of the entire community associated with forestry and hunting. Stanislaw Wyrwinski died on April 28, 1956 in Cracow, and is laid to rest in Rakowicki Cemetery.

A unique gift and unusual souvenir for the 18th birthday. An original scroll written in the form of a paradocument confirming that a young person has reached the age of majority. The certificate at the outset refers to the law of the Republic of Poland, indicating the article of the Civil Code defining when a young person becomes an adult. In addition to a brief reference to legal considerations pertaining to adulthood, the certificate is also an original declaration of the formal support that those close to the birthday boy and girl are giving for their budding adulthood. Full of good wishes, warmth and life advice, it will be, years later, a remarkable souvenir of the rapidly passing youth. The document can be issued by both family and those close to the 18-year-old. Respecting worldview attitudes, we wrote it in two slightly different versions, one for religious people and the other for secular people.

The "Forests of Poland" map presents a cartographic image of Polish forests, the structure and administrative boundaries of the State Forests, the headquarters of forest districts and regional directorates, as well as the location of the most important primeval forests, coniferous forests, forests, national parks and Promotional Forest Complexes in Poland. The decorative cartouches of the map show representative landscapes found in individual regional directorates, as well as selected animal species characteristic of the nature of our country. Forest areas cover almost 30% of the area of Poland. This is where the main natural resource of our country is located. Most of this area is managed by the State Forests, whose task, included in the mission of the company, is to protect and shape the natural environment. Each administrative unit of the State Forests, each forester is de facto ambassadors of Polish nature. They are the ones who perform this daily ant work, the effects of which are not always noticed, but will certainly be appreciated by future generations. It is to them that we owe the development and good condition of the natural well-being of our homeland.
