Description

History
The reserve was established in the 1990s following Belarus's independence. Its creation was part of efforts to protect the country's natural wetlands for future generations.
Culture
Local people gather plants and mushrooms here using traditional methods passed down through families. These practices remain an important part of daily life in the surrounding communities.
Practical
