Zhukiv Khutir Reserve, Forest reserve in Kyiv Oblast, Ukraine
Zhukiv Khutir Reserve is a forest sanctuary in Kyiv Oblast covering around 623 hectares of woodland. It protects diverse plant and animal species within its natural forest environment.
The reserve was established in October 1974 as environmental awareness grew throughout Ukraine. Its creation reflected broader conservation initiatives taking place in the country during that period.
The reserve functions as an educational center where students and researchers conduct studies on local ecosystems and environmental protection methods.
The site is open year-round with marked trails guiding visitors through the forest landscape. These paths make it straightforward to explore the natural areas in a safe and organized way.
The reserve sits within Kotsiubynske, a settlement completely surrounded by Kyiv city limits, creating an isolated natural pocket within the urban landscape. This unusual geography makes it a rare example of protected woodland existing entirely within a city's boundaries.
