'''Upper Liswarta Forests Landscape Park''' (''Park Krajobrazowy Lasy nad Górną Liswartą'') is a [[protected area]] ([[Landscape Park (Poland)|Landscape Park]]) in southern [[Poland]], established in 1998, covering an area of {{convert|507.46|km2|sqmi}}.

The Park lies within [[Silesian Voivodeship]]: in [[Częstochowa County]] ([[Gmina Blachownia]], [[Gmina Konopiska]], [[Gmina Starcza]]), [[Kłobuck County]] ([[Gmina Panki]], [[Gmina Przystajń]], [[Gmina Wręczyca Wielka]]) and [[Lubliniec County]] ([[Gmina Boronów]], [[Gmina Ciasna]], [[Gmina Herby]], [[Gmina Kochanowice]], [[Gmina Koszęcin]], [[Gmina Woźniki]]).

Within the Landscape Park are four [[nature reserve]]s.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Siuta |first1=Jan |last2=Żukowski |first2=Bogusław |date=2018 |title=Zmiany struktury klas bonitacyjnych gruntów rolnych w Polsce w latach 1975-2000 |journal=Polish Journal for Sustainable Development |volume=22 |issue=1 |pages=89–96 |doi=10.15584/pjsd.2018.22.1.12 |issn=2450-3746|doi-access=free }}</ref>

There are numerous breeding ponds in the park, which are an important part of the landscape. Peat bogs and spring areas are often found here. In addition to the landscape of fishponds, there are also landscapes: with the predominance of fresh mixed forest habitats; coniferous forests and mixed forests dominated by pine monocultures and the landscape of river valleys with fragments of willow and poplar riparian forests and peat bogs.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Siuta |first1=Jan |last2=Żukowski |first2=Bogusław |date=2018 |title=Zmiany struktury klas bonitacyjnych gruntów rolnych w Polsce w latach 1975-2000 |journal=Polish Journal for Sustainable Development |volume=22 |issue=1 |pages=89–96 |doi=10.15584/pjsd.2018.22.1.12 |issn=2450-3746|doi-access=free }}</ref>

== History ==
The first working delineation of the park's boundaries in the area of the upper Liswarta River basin was made by Janusz Herezniak and Izabella Maszczynska in 1982-1983. However, due to the fact that the Law on Spatial Development came into force in 1994, it was not until 1996 that the design documentation for the "Lasy nad Górną Liswartą" Landscape Park was prepared.<ref>[[Janusz Maciej Hereźniak|Janusz Hereźniak]], ''Świat roślin w istniejących i projektowanych obiektach ochrony przyrody Parku Krajobrazowego „Lasy nad Górną Liswartą”'', [w:] red.
