Polissya Nature Reserve, Nature reserve in Zhytomyr Oblast, Ukraine
The reserve spans 20,104 hectares of woodland marshes, pine forests, and sphagnum bogs between the Uborti and Bolotnisya Rivers in northern Ukraine.
The Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of Ukraine established this conservation area in 1968 to protect the representative landscapes of the Polesia region.
The territory contains ancient pagan temples and a Stone Museum where local inhabitants conducted traditional worship ceremonies around sacred stones and trees.
Two educational trails extending 3.5 kilometers through the reserve allow visitors to observe wildlife species including lynx, elk, and numerous bird species.
The reserve features three distinct types of swamps supporting specialized vegetation such as cotton grass, blueberries, and sedges across its protected territory.
