The idea of creating a landscape park in the Liswarta valley was formulated by naturalists, under the supervision of prof. Janusz Hereźniak. The Lasy nad Górną Liswarta Landscape Park was established by the Order of the Częstochowa Voivode No. 28/98 of December 21, 1998 to protect the natural, cultural and landscape values of the Liswarta Valley.
4 nature reserves have been established here: Cisy nad Liswartą and Cisy in Łebki in order to protect the common yew site and protected plant species, the Rajchowa Góra reserve to preserve a mixed natural forest and Łęg nad Młynówka to preserve forest and water biocenoses in the form of a natural riparian forest. There are also 5 ecological sites in the Park: Swamp in the Lake in the Węczyca Wielka commune - transitional peat bog, swamp in Pietrzaki in the Herby commune - low peat bog, the lake in the Konopiska commune - transitional peat bog and water reservoir, Brzoza in the Kochanowice commune - created to preserve for natural, scientific, educational and landscape reasons of the water reservoir with the sites of regionally rare and outgoing species of plants and animals, the Gravel Pit in Cieszowa located in the Koszęcin commune is the protection of hydrogenic ecosystems. There are approximately 59 natural monuments within the park and its buffer zone. Most often, they are single trees, but there is also a stand of shrubs - Katawbian rhododendron in the "Na Brzozę" educational trail in the Kochanowice commune. The park's attraction is the inanimate nature monument, the so-called Diabelski Kamień in Olszyna in the Herby commune.
Waters: The Liswarta River, it flows out near the village of Mzyki at an altitude of approx. 315 m above sea level. and flows through the entire area of the Park in a wide valley, up to the village of Niwki, where it leaves the Park at an altitude of approx. 230 m above sea level. The most important tributaries are the Olszynka, Kalinka, Turza and Potok Jeżowski (Młynówka). A characteristic feature of the Park is a large number of anthropogenic water reservoirs that function as breeding ponds.
Plants: There are native species in the Park, which constitute 83% of all plants. There are about 855 species of vascular plants and 85 species of bryophytes. The area of the Park is approximately 60% forested.
Animals: The wetlands of the Park constitute a convenient area for many animal species. There are 12 species of amphibians here. Numerous water reservoirs are a nesting place for many birds. The large forest cover of the Park is a hideout for species such as: foxes, raccoon dogs, ermine, ferrets, weasels, pine martens and beech marten. Traces of bite over many waters - these are the habitats of beavers; and in one of the streams in the years 2002-2007 noble crayfish was found.
