This is a mosquito monument and no one can tell me otherwise. Maybe the designer has never seen a bee? As of June 2025 - the monument has no head.

The reserve was created to protect the riparian communities, which are quite rare in the forest and have been preserved in their natural state. Forest habitat types have developed here on very diverse soils: alder forest, ash alder forest, mixed forest, moist forest, fresh forest. Alder, fir, pine, spruce stands with an admixture of pedunculate oak, common ash, elm, sycamore, birch and aspen dominate here. The herbaceous vegetation of the reserve is very rich. There are e.g. bear's garlic, chickweed, yellow anemone, martagon lily, lesser spotted eagle and laurel. Very rare species of birds nest in the reserve: the lesser spotted eagle, the little eagle, the sparrowhawk, the honey buzzard, the black stork, the hawk, the buzzard, the woodcock and the sandpiper.

The Brzeźniczka Reserve was established in 1980. It is located in the central part of the Kozienicka Forest, along the Zagożdżonka River. It includes diversified oak and pine stands, as well as fragments of alder and riparian forests. Particularly valuable are the concentrations of Polish larch at the age of about 160 years, because they are the oldest specimens of this species in the Forest. The richly developed layer of undergrowth and undergrowth testifies to the natural origin of these forests. Protected plants: red helleborine, spotted orchid, wolfwort, juniper clubmoss. The area of the Brzeźniczka reserve is 120.64 ha, of which 30.34 ha in the Zwoleń Forest District.
