The development of the Information Society results in an ever increasing demand for environmental information exchange. To the best of the author’s knowledge, there are not many studies concerning environmental information networks. The data collected in this way (e.g. BRIM or the systems owned by National Parks) did not respond fully to the users needs. For these reasons, the author has undertaken to put forward a model of country-wide Geographical Information System in Poland. The system tests proved the possibility of improving the environmental objects representation accuracy. It indicated the special information role played by the image data.
