Igora Medņa Lāčupes dendroloģiskie stādījumi, Protected dendrological plantation near Apšuciems, Latvia
The dendrological plantation covers 7.2 hectares along the left bank of Lāčupe River, containing 60 coniferous and 350 deciduous tree species.
Engineer Igor Mednis established the plantation in 1959, collecting tree seedlings from 68 locations across Latvia, Baltic states, Soviet Union, Germany, and Poland.
The site represents Latvia's commitment to dendrology research, with rare specimens like Japanese cryptomeria, Lawson cypress, and various maple species.
Visitors can explore the plantation through the Lāčupīte nature trail, which guides them through different sections of the protected area.
The plantation functions as a plant acclimatization research site, featuring eight protected plant species and valuable insect populations residing in old pine trees.
