He started the research of flora and fauna, and his research area was very extensive, from the Mediterranean to Archangelsk. Nevertheless, Suwalszczyzna was always a great sentiment and he was eagerly promoting her beauty. With naturalists Kazimierz Czerwiński and Romuald Minkiewicz came in 1901-1903 over Wigry. In 1903 they made "a series of systematic measurements of the depths of lakes belonging to the Wigry system". Reports from studies and researches were published by Kazimierz Kulwieć in the pages of the Universe (1902 No. 21-23) and the Physiographic Diary (1904th XVIII).

The outbreak of the First World War found the Kulwyci family in Novgorod. Kazimierz was summoned to Moscow to organize a Polish gymnasium. For three years he was its director. Upon his return to Poland he created a gymnasium in Warsaw. After the Bolshevik war Kulwieć bought the estate of Rusocin (over Świtezia, within the borders of present Lithuania). In the twenties of the twentieth century he tried to launch a sightseeing spot on the Wigry. In 1929 the PTK shelter was put into use in Stary Folwark, whose patron was Kazimierz Kulwieć.

In 1939, the eastern territories of the Commonwealth were under Soviet occupation. The Kulwyci family was deported to the depths of the Archangel Teague. Despite the terrible conditions of life, Kulwieć prepared a work on the flora and fauna of Archangel. Unfortunately, it could not be transported to Poland, the scientist's daughter's handwriting had to be destroyed.
