Privolshky Les Nature Reserve, Nature reserve in Penza Oblast, Russia
The Privolshky Les Nature Reserve spans 8,326 hectares across five sections of forest and steppe zones in the Middle Volga region of Russia.
Founded in 1989, this protected area continues the legacy of three earlier reserves established in 1919, including Poperechenskaya Steppe, Russia's third nature reserve.
Scientists from the Penza Society of Natural History contributed to establishing protection measures for the local ecosystems through extensive research and documentation.
The reserve includes five distinct territories in the western part of the Volga Upland, spreading across both Penza Oblast and partially into Ulyanovsk Oblast.
The protected area houses over 860 species of vascular plants, representing 55 percent of all plant species found in the Penza region.
